Colonel Thorndyke’s Secret

CHAPTER I
30/36

One of my mates brought my musket here a quarter of an hour ago, and emptied the barrel out for me.

Now, sir, you did your best to save my life last night, and you killed that fellow who did for me, and you pretty nearly got killed yourself.

I have got no one else I could give the things to, and if I were to give them to one of my mates in the regiment they would probably cost him his life, as they have cost me mine.

But you will know what to do with the things; they are worth a lot of money if you can get them home.

Mind, sir, you have got to be careful.
