But Churi nevertheless remained. The blood again rushed into Erick's cheeks. He hesitated a moment, then he asked: "If I go with you, are you sure that I can get there, where I deliver letters?" "Of course you can," Churi grumbled. "Then I will go." "Give me your hand on it!" Churi held out his hand and Erick laid his in it. Churi kept hold of the hand.

"And if I help you so that you need not be auctioned, will you then?" "How can you do that?" Erick asked doubtingly. "As soon as I want to," boasted Churi. "Don't you know that my father is the sergeant here?
