"Travilla, my good friend, I can never thank you enough for this kindness." "Tut, man! 'tis nothing! are we not told to lay down our lives for the brethren? Let me help you to bed; I fear that leg will keep you there for some days." "I fear so indeed, but am sincerely thankful to have gotten off so well," replied Leland, accepting the offered assistance. "A most comfortable, nay luxurious prison cell," he remarked cheerily, glancing about upon the elegant and tasteful furniture, "truly the lines have fallen to me in pleasant places." Mr.Travilla smiled.
"We will do what we can to make amends for the loss of liberty.
It can not be far from daybreak now: I will remove the light, throw open the shutters and leave you to rest.
You must of course be anxious about your family.
I will ride over to Fairview and bring you news of them within the hour.".
