"I'm only going to the Eastport end of the bridge. I'll be back in a couple of minutes."
"That makes no difference. Every one who crosses the bridge has to pay toll."
"But I'm coming right back."
"I don't care if you return as soon as you strike the last plank. You have got to pay, or you can't cross," returned Ralph, firmly.
"I won't pay a cent!" blustered Percy, angrily.
"Then you can't cross."
"And who will stop me, I'd like to know?"
"I will."
"You can't do it."
"Perhaps I can. Anyway, if you don't pay I'll try. You know the rules just as well as I do."
