"No doubt he would like to," said her husband, chuckling.
"I don't understand you, James. If he would like to come, why doesn't he?"
"Because he is locked in his chamber."
"Who locked him there?"
"I did."
Mrs. Talbot was a meek woman, but this excited her to anger.
"I will go right up and let him out," she said.
James Talbot laughed, but allowed his wife to leave the room without a word.
She hurried up to Robert's chamber.
