"What are you going to do to them, Ralph? You won't injure them?"
"I must have their money. I may as well take Conrad with me. Here, Conrad, wake up!" and he shook his companion with no gentle hand.
Conrad opened his eyes, and looked sleepily around him.
"How came I here?" he asked.
"You took too much whisky and got stupid drunk," said Ralph, not mentioning that he, too, had been in the same box. "Is breakfast ready, Sarah?"
"Yes."
"Then we'll sit up and eat. I am famished. Come, Conrad."
"Won't you rouse the strangers first?"
"No. That will do afterward. If I get their money, you may give them some breakfast, too."
"Very well."
