“And yet you dared to untie him?”
“Certainly. You had no business to tie him.”
“What! you dare say this to my face?”
“Why shouldn’t I? What did you tie him for?”
“Didn’t he tell you?”
“No.”
“Then I will, though it’s none of your business. He stole my property.”
“Did you do that, Philip?” asked Harry, who was not yet aware of Temple’s suspicion.
“No; I hope to die. I did not!” answered Philip, solemnly.
