"I left you in New York, to look after that end of the Cameron case." "Huh!" exclaimed the boy. "You didn't take the railroad iron up with you when you came down, did you?
So the officer went away, and Perkins went back to the dungeon and gave orders that every two hours someone should come and fill Jimmie up with water, and give him another chance to say "Yes".
