And, saying this, he looked at his friend exactly as he had looked when he came away from the schoolmaster's house, and joined Stineli at the wood-pile, so long ago, saying then, "It is all of no use!" Stineli went to Silvio's bedside, and said softly, "Be a good boy, Silvio; and to-morrow I will tell you the very prettiest and drollest story about Peterli; but now do not make a noise."
"I was very much frightened for you, Mesty," said Jack; "but still I thought you quite as cunning as the friar, and so it has turned out; but the thousand dollars ought to be yours." "No, sar," replied Mesty, "the dollars not mine; but I hab plenty of gold in Don Silvio's purse plenty, plenty of gold. I keep my property, Massa Easy, and you keep yours."
The only other shock I had was when Miss Trelawny cried out to me, as I placed my hand on the bed to lean over and look carefully at her father: "You are wounded. Look! look! your hand is bloody. There is blood on the sheets!" I had, in the excitement, quite forgotten Silvio's scratch.
With these words he hastily departed, and we, after agreeing to meet at Silvio's, dispersed to our various quarters.

And if the Spaniards had grown into the lazy habit of not hoisting it every day, why had they taken the trouble to do so on this particular morning? Was it done to indicate the defiance of George's threat? for the latter had no doubt that his letter had by this time reached Don Silvio's hands.
Then she seated herself by Silvio's bedside, and made shadow pictures on the wall with her supple fingers; and Silvio laughed aloud, and called the names, "A hare! A beast with horns! A spider with long legs!" So sped away the first evening quickly and merrily, and they all were taken by surprise when it struck ten o'clock.
A scratch from any animal might turn out dangerous; there is nothing like being safe." I submitted; forthwith he began to dress my hand.
