"Ha!" said Jack. "I never thought of that. Did you have any trouble with the people there?"
"No; I got into the room of a German, who let me spend the night with him and take breakfast."
"So, that's the way you managed it?"
"Yes."
Jasper felt relieved that no question had been asked him as to Nancy's agency in effecting his release. He would not have betrayed her, at any rate, but his refusal to speak might have incensed Jack.
"Well," he said, "so much for that. Now, how much money have you got with you?"
This was a question which Jasper had expected and dreaded to hear, for nearly all the money in his possession belonged to his employer, and not to himself.
"Well, boy, I want an answer," said Jack, impatiently.
Jasper reluctantly drew out his pocket-book, containing, as we know, but a small portion of his money.
Jack took it, and, opening it, counted the money.
