These did not worry our friend on the stretcher, nor did the bump hurt him, for he cheerfully shouted "Down go my horses!"

He knelt on the brink of the hole and leaned over to see the discovery. A quick, strong push from Geoffrey sent him headlong into Featherstone's arms, and before he knew what had happened the Duke had gagged him with his own woollen gloves and handkerchief, and Sydney had tied his hands and feet.
The paymaster and his clerk, Mullan and the other soldier, dead in their tracks and burned to ashes by this time, and, best of all, "that pig of a sergeant," as Moreno called him, that hound and murderer, Feeny, he who had slain Ramon, bound, gagged, and left to miserable death by torture.
