Go with me, and when we have talked together for an hour, if you wish to return here, I pledge you my word of honor, as a gentleman's son, to bring you back safely.

If you will not go with me, we may as well part at once.

I positively will not say another word, I'm going.

Follow me in silence, or stay here, as you please." With that Sam opened the door and walked out.

The man quickly extinguished the light and crept after Sam, in his bare feet.
Sam led the way by a route just outside the town, without exchanging a word with his companion.
