"To show I'm not a tenderfoot." "Yes, to show you're not a tenderfoot. I fancy that will be hardly necessary. Oh, you will be up, eh?
"No, uncle, of course not, but one of the young prisoners. He was escaping." "And you you have turned traitor to your King, and been hiding a prisoner of war from his guard! Why, you young scoundrel!
