"You couldn't wake these people with dynamite! I vote we chuck it and go home." "They little know of England who only Stiffkey know," chanted the chauffeur reprovingly. "Why, we haven't begun yet. Wait till we meet a live wire!" Two miles farther along the road to Cromer, young Bradshaw, the job-master's son at Blakeney, was leading his bicycle up the hill.
"I wouldn't take it on myself to wake the Coast Guard," he protested; "not at this time of the night. But if any Germans' been annoying you, gentlemen, and you wish to lodge a complaint against them, you give me your cards " "Ye gods!" cried the man in the rear of the car. "Go on!" he commanded.

They ran directly toward him. It was nine o'clock, but the twilight still held.
