“Oh yes, we must go again, Master Mark. Why, if we didn’t go, the robbers would think we were afraid, and come at us. You’re not going to sit down and look as if we were beat?”
“Well, it would be too bad, Dummy,” said Mark, thoughtfully.
“Bad? I should think it would, Master Mark. I say, wasn’t it grand last night?”
“Grand?”
“Yes; when we were in the cave, with the lights shining, and the pikes sparkling. If they had only come out and fought fair, it would have been splendid.”
“Then you would like to go again, Dummy?”
“Of course, sir. Wouldn’t you?”
“Yes, I suppose so,” said Mark thoughtfully.
“Yes, you must go again, and take ’em all prisoners. But I suppose you won’t go to-night?”
“Go to-night? No!”
