'There are traitors hid here, Sir, said Percy, in angry self-justification. 'And what an if there are? Back, every one of you! rogues that you be! Here, Fitzhugh, see those villains back to the camp. Let their arms be given up to the Provost-marshal. Kites and crows as you are! Away, out with you!
"I should like to claim the power permitted by our previous arrangement, and ask the prosecution two or three questions." Dr. Cyrus Pym closed his eyes to indicate a courteous assent.
