“There ain’t no way to escape, is there?”
“No, I suppose not, if the hall door is locked.”
“It is, and I can’t find no key.”
“Have you looked since the gas was lighted?”
“Yes, and ’tain’t there nowhere.”
“Where do you imagine it is?”
“I guess the old duffer has it in his pocket, the same as he has the key to the trap door.”
“Well, there is no time to lose. Old Gunwagner will be down upon us in an instant.”
“Do you think he will bring a revolver with him?” asked Bob, somewhat nervously.
“Very likely he will.”
