"Renegades who roam the woods all night must expect to sleep all day."
"How do you know I have been in the woods all night?"
"I heard you slipping up the tunnel stairs without any shoes on at daylight. I have not been able to sleep two nights on account of you."
"Then why don't you go to bed yourself, my dear master?"
"Because I am not going to let you give me the slip another time. I am responsible for you: and you will have me on your back when you go prowling abroad again."
"Again?" I questioned innocently.
"Yes, again, young sir! I have been through your luggage, and find that you have packed changes of clothing and things necessary and unnecessary to a journey,—even books."
"I hope you put them neatly together"—
"Nothing of the kind. I scattered them."
"Do you want me to go bare into the world?" I laughed.
