Unless they get wind of this and sell me purposely, their arrest will be the end of my troubles.

To tell you the truth, Professor," Quest concluded, "it is not of myself I am thinking at all just now.

It is Lenora." The Professor nodded sympathetically.
"The young lady who shut Craig up in the garage, you mean?
A plucky young woman she must be." "She has a great many other good qualities besides courage," Quest declared.

"Women have not counted for much with me, Professor, up till now, any more than they have done, I should think, with you, but I tell you frankly, if any one has hurt a hair of that girl's head I will have their lives, whatever the penalty may be! It is for her sake--to find her--that I broke out of prison and that I am trying to keep free.

The wisest thing to do, from my own point of view, would be to give myself up.
I can't bring myself to do that without knowing what has become of her." The Professor nodded again.
"A charming and well-bred young woman she seems," he admitted.
