Drive them right into the woods if you can, and then lie quiet till you hear me whistle for you.

If you don't hear my whistle you will know something has happened to me, and then you must make your way home as well as can." "Oh, Master Vincent!" Dan began; but Vincent stopped him.
"It's no use talking, Dan; you must do as I order you.

I hope all will be well; but it must be done, anyhow." "Let me come and load your pistol and fight with you, sah." "You can do more good stampeding the horses, Dan.

Perhaps, after all, there will be no trouble." So saying, leaving Dan with the tears running down his cheeks, Vincent went to the back of the house and tried the door there.

It was fastened.
Then he went to the other side; and here the light streaming through the window, which was open, and the sound of loud voices, showed him the room where the party were.
