"But you have him now on a double charge." "Him and his accomplice. Justice will be satisfied, never fear." "How long will you keep me here?"

But it will be well to ascertain and take precautions. Come! there is a way out of this house known only to me." And, so saying, he went towards the door, followed by Mrs. Wilders.
