Campbell; "that you have not told us all I am certain, and the conviction that such is the case, will make me and the girls very uneasy; so pray do treat us as we ought to be treated; we share the danger, and we ought to know what the danger is."

Black, the slave hunter, as he had been before suspected of killing runaway slaves in the woods.

I have been uneasy about you. Have you fulfilled your mission without adventure?" "Without any adventure, sir, save that we were once chased by a pirate on our way east, but escaped in the darkness.
