"Shure Oi wouldn't have belaved av Oi hadn't seen it," remarked Gerald, who had cautiously ventured back. This was some days later than the events recorded in the previous chapters, since which time, Rand had been selected as leader and Don as corporal, while Gerald, from his fun-loving proclivities, had been named the "Patrol's jester."
He would not join in with the Elks, he told himself, but he would pal with any single Elk, or even with two or three. That would be all right as long as he did not foist himself upon a whole patrol. "Eight's a company, nine's a crowd, gee whiz, I have to admit that," he said to himself. "It's all right for me to go with one feller even if he's a scout but a patrol's different."
In the glow of my pitlight I hoped he could see my face and the grin. "They'll never catch me," I said. "I'm traveling fast tonight." "Chase you out," he persisted. "The patrol's keeping them low. General Orders, an hour ago. Didn't you know it?" "No." "Well, you ought to. You ought to know everything in your business. Besides, the lights are up."

"I'll look over the mail myself," Fyles went on. "You best get back to camp, and see to that letter. Guess you'll wait for me to take action. You can get out across the valley south. Ride on west and ford the river up at the crossing Winter's Crossing. See if the patrol's in. Then make camp and keep an eye skinned for that boy. I'll get along later."
And of the patrol's limitations: "A judicious freedom in the administration of our police laws for the lower order must always have respect for the confidence which the law reposes in the discretion of the master."
