CAptain Kidd swaggered into the office. No one dared challenge his right of entry as to do so would likely lead to mishap! He threw down a bag with a ching sound. "It looketh like you are all a swamp with other stuff", he growled at the clerk, "but this", he said, pointing to the bag of bullion, "takes precedence. I need you to assay it directly". The clerk dropped everything with a scared expression and hurried into the back room to ascertain the make-up of the bullion. Within a few minutes he returned saying "It's all 18 carat gold". Captain Kidd picked it up and tossed the scared clerk a silver coin before turning on his heels and charging out, leaving the door wide open.
