“They may find out you have a prisoner.”

“I think not.”

“But suppose they should?”

“I will say it is an insane relative I am taking care of.”

“That might do, but the story will get out.”

“Well, suppose it does. We can move him; but it will be a long time before any one will find out I have a prisoner here.”

“Where have you got him concealed?”

“Suppose I don’t tell you?”

“As you please.”

“It is better that even you should not know. You may talk in your sleep.”
