The Lillys were there, both Tanny and her husband.
"Yes; but we've not had yellow Jack among us yet; and depend upon it he will be coming before long," answered old Grim. The good fortune of the Lillys, as the other prisoners called Mr Collinson and his followers, rather excited their jealousy. It tended, however, but little to raise his spirits, and he began to fear that he should never again see his friends.
