Three days only before the assizes, came the long-expected letter from Mercy Vint.
"What a kind fellow you are, Vint! I don't think I ought to take these." "Why not? I have others! I shall feel easier, knowing that you have them. You can stow them about you easily, they are so small." "But it's against the laws of war for a prisoner to be armed." "That's just the reason I haven't asked you to take them before.
