When I have joined him, do you go up to the house and tell Chloe from me to give you a pile of corn cakes--it's no use giving him flour, for he would be afraid to light a fire to cook it.
Tell her to give you, too, any cold meat there may be in the house.
Don't tell Dinah her husband is here till we have talked the matter over." Dan led Vincent up to a clump of bushes.
"It am all right, Tony," he said; "here is Massa Vincent come to see you." The bushes parted and Tony came out into the full moonlight.

He looked haggard and worn; his clothes were torn into strips by the bushes.
"My poor fellow," Vincent said kindly, "I am sorry to see you in such a state." A great sob broke from the black.
"De Lord bless you, sah, for your goodness and for saving Dinah from de hands of dose debils! Now she safe wid you and de child, Tony no care bery much what come to him--de sooner he dead de better.

He wish dat one day when dey flog him dey had kill him altogether; den all de trouble at an end.

Dey hunt him ebery day with dogs and guns, and soon they catch him.
