"No, Mr. Farley is below, and also a private detective."
"Thank God for that. You have come to save me, of course."
"Yes. Is anybody around, or have they all gone to bed?"
"I have seen nobody since my nephew was here several hours ago."
"I wish I could get to the window, I would soon have those bars out and get in to help you," went on Robert, after a pause.
"Never mind, tell Mr. Farley and the detective to go around to the front door and demand admittance."
Robert descended to the ground and repeated what the lady had said.
The men and our hero walked to the great iron gate and rang the bell.
Nobody answered the summons.
"We had better climb the fence and try the front door," said Brossom.
