'Then I won't accept it, do you hear? he persisted; 'you shall not make this sacrifice for me! Holroyd laughed grimly enough: 'For you! he repeated; 'you don't suppose I should tamely give up everything for you, do you? 'Then, faltered Mark, 'why why ? 'Why am I going to let you alone? Do you remember what I told you on that platform at Plymouth? that is why.
Besides, if it pleased Azuma-zi to be near the big machine, it was plain sense and decency to keep him away from it. Azuma-zi obeyed at the time, but later he was caught bowing before the Lord of the Dynamos. At which Holroyd twisted his arm and kicked him as he turned to go away.
You see, at present we have no clue as to the men concerned in the robberies. You may be sure that they are watching every move on our part, and if they knew that this boy was out, they might take the alarm and make off." "Well, if you think so, I will leave him here."
