If you are willing to venture, I will make my preparations at once.

I have to send to the village; but in three days I shall be ready and, the first night after that the men manage to be on guard together behind, we shall be here.

It may be a week, it may be more but, at any rate, don't worry about it if they take you away suddenly.

I shall try to get you out of their hands, somehow." "My dear Stanley," Harry said, with a feeble laugh, "do you know that you are spoiling your chance of an earldom ?" "You may take it that if you don't succeed to the title, old fellow, I sha'n't; for if you go under, I shall, too.
"Now goodbye; it would be fatal were I to be caught here.

Try to get yourself as strong as you can, but don't let them notice that you are doing so." Without giving Harry time to reply, Stanley pressed his hand and left his bedside.
