"Yes, you set on me and I was compelled to serve you out."
"Release me now, it's all right."
"Oh, it's all right, eh? well, I don't think so; it's my idea you are a bad character, and I'm going to keep you here until I notify the constable or someone else. I think you are a highwayman or a robber or something of that sort; you're a bad man anyhow."
"Release me, I live upon the island. I am well known. I am no burglar or robber. I took you for one."
"Did you? well you were mistaken, and now, Mister Man, what have you got to say particular before you go to sleep?"
"Before I go to sleep! what do you mean?"
"I mean you will rest here until morning, until I can notify some of the citizens here, so they can come and take you into custody; it's my idea you are a bad character."
"You do not mean what you say; you will not leave me here?"
"I will."
"It will cost you your life."
