“I—injure him!”
“Yes, boy.”
“But I only want to be by his side.”
“Well, to do that you would run away from here, for the Prince would not let you go.”
“No, he will not. I asked him.”
“You did?”
“Yes, two days ago.”
“Then if you go without leave, you will make a good friend angry.”
“Perhaps so; but I cannot stay away.”
“You must, boy, for it would be injuring your father; and, look here, if you went, you could not get near the prisoners. Those who have them in charge would not let you pass.”
