What was hatefulest and most unendurable of all was the bondage of truce in which the Atterburys held him. Wesley was no coward, and he ached to meet Jack face to face, arm to arm, and settle with that thoughtless insubordinate a rankling list of griefs heaped up in moments of over-vivacious frankness.
Sprague have they found him?" Dick retailed as much of the story as he thought safe, but he had to say that the Spragues were all with the Atterburys in the country. "How providential! Ah, if our poor Wesley could find some such friends! He is very low. He recognizes no one. Unless papa can get leave to take him North I am afraid of the worst.

Of late I have begun to suspect that the Atterburys are to blame for your detention." "What do you mean to blame?
