Dietrich and Hildebrand heard this speech, for Hagen came to where he found the champion stand before the house, leaning against the wall.

I prefer to earn my dole first. Come on." But Sidwell only looked at him. "Don't be stubborn," he said. "I want to talk with you." Hough returned his cue to the rack lingeringly.
