“No; certainly not; or, at any rate, they couldn’t get in.”

“Well, it’s not a bad idea; and it’s the only thing we can do. So it’s worth trying.”
“Yes; but there’s one thing first.”
“What’s that?”
“Why, we’ll have to talk with the landlord, and see if we can find out from him what the probabilities are about this place being really the resort of the old buccaneers.”
