But the man must have been a philosopher, for his bonds distressed him not at all.
"They trussed me up a bit, you know but I'll be all right in a little while when I get the cramps out of my joints and the circulation back. And so, Miss Gray, won't you please go at once? I'm free now, and I'll manage all right, and " The Sparrow came running back from the door. "They're comm'!" he said excitedly. "They're comm' from a different way than we came in.
I brought him hither; and when he woke the lad and gave his message, the lad did grumble some little for being disturbed 'so early, as he called it, but straightway trussed on his rags and went with the youth, only saying it had been better manners that your worship came yourself, not sent a stranger and so " "And so thou'rt a fool! a fool and easily cozened hang all thy breed!
