- Mr. Brown immediately regretted his decision. He thought that if he had asked for five thousand dollars, Jack might have still agreed. He realized that the value of the votes was likely to increase. He couldn't accept the money now, or the price would stop rising. He planned to give Tom a hint the next day.
