"Fear not. Come to reflect, I like your plan better than my own, as there is less danger in it every way."
"Enough. Good night."
"Hold a moment. Is there any fastening on the door between the rooms, on the side in number seventeen?"
"There is; but I will take care of that; and you know no one, unless well acquainted with the spot, could tell there was a door there."
"True, true—I had forgotten that fact."
"Oh, I forgot one prohibition. You must in no case let a ray of light into seventeen. It might render all our precautions abortive, and defeat their object."
"Very well. I will be careful."
"Do so, and all will be well. Of course, no noise, even as loud as a whisper, must be heard in the lady's room."
"I will be discreet; trust me for that. I am glad you have come to the rescue; I find there is nothing like a woman's wit."
"Take care, then, that you are never outwitted by them!"
