"Oh, bother, not to say dash I had forgotten we were dining out; but do, do, come round again and have a talk."
Four of the marshals were down when I left, and Dick Prescott is done for, too! Oh, it's fearful! There won't be any of the government party left!" Apparent terror rang in Darrin's voice as he ran forward flourishing his "Quaker" rifle. "Great Scott!" groaned Bayliss, trying to rise and run, though his legs shook under him. "Buck up!

Fifteen minutes later another bang. Did we want coffee?

Now, we simply must go on with our letters! Begin when I say three! The letters were finally finished just as the tea-bell rang.
