"Are you going to tackle the Darleys ?" "No; the robbers." "T'other's best; and they're robbers too.

But them'll do.

Want me to come and help fight them ?" "Yes; will you ?" "Will I ?" said the boy, showing his teeth.

"I'll follow you anywhere, Master Mark." "Well, I want to follow you now.

Take me to your father, and--not a word to a soul." Dummy slapped his mouth, and shut it close; then going to a niche in the rock, he pointed to a box of candles, and a much bigger one, which he opened and showed to be quite full of long sticks of hempen tow soaked in pitch, one of which he took out, and gave to Mark, and took one himself, lit it, and then led the way down, and in and out among the darkest recesses of the mine.
"Smoky," said Dummy, giving his torch a wave, and sending the black curls of fume eddying upward, to hang along the stone ceiling.
