The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The White Moll by Frank L. Packard: befriend the White Moll even to the extent of accepting no little
personal risk in so doing. But since then things had taken a very
different turn. The White Moll was now held by the gang, of which
Gypsy Nan was supposed to be a member, to be the one who had of late
profited by the gang's plans to the gang's discomfiture; and the
Adventurer was ranked but little lower in the scale of hatred, since
they counted him to be the White Moll's accomplice. Knowing this,
therefore, the first thing the Adventurer would naturally do would
be to destroy the clew, in the shape of that telephone number, that
would lead to his whereabouts, and which he of course believed he
had put into the gang's hands when he had confided in Gypsy Nan.
