Offering a smile, he knew that Barty was disappointed with the offer, but it would have to do. They were minor players in a larger game.

Barty sighed--he'd expected as much--then picked up the pouch and peered inside, and smiled just a bit--in the vaguely unpleasant way Barty smiled. Well, this was something more like!

Then he reached out and took up the parchment, folding it twice and stowing it in a pocket behind one of the large lapels of a less-than-usually garish suit. "Ah well, Finn, a man has to try, eh? But I guess this'll have to do. And Finn," he went on talking as he reached out and took up the ends of the handkerchief holding the bright, unusual bits of metal, "Be careful with it, will yeh?" Once the bundle was securely tied in a knot from each corner, Barty stowed it in one of his large outer pockets and stood to leave. "Pleasure doin' business with you, as always." Barty was glad now he'd kept out some of this stuff to try elsewhere--he knew some jewellry peddlers who worked out of carts in Diagon Alley who might be interested in this stuff and pay a higher price. It always paid to keep your options open.
