The first thing for us to do is to get your friend into a fit state to walk.

How do you feel ?" he asked, bending over Dick and feeling his pulse.
"Ever so much better," Dick said cheerfully, "since I have heard from you that there is a chance of escape.

I have been fretting so at the thought that I have got Jack into such a wretched mess by my folly in telling the governor that I knew of his treachery.

If it had been only myself, I shouldn't have cared." "Why, my dear Dick," Jack said cheerfully, "I never dreamt of blaming you, and if you hadn't spoken out, I have no doubt I should have done so.

No, no, old fellow, whatever comes of it, don't you blame yourself." "Can you stand, do you think ?" the doctor asked.
"Oh, I think so," Dick said; and rising, he managed to totter across the cell.
"That is all right," the doctor said.
