"Yes, that's a good one. Ever read 'Treasure Island'?"
"No; who's it by?"
"Stevenson; know him at all?"
"Did he write 'Tower of London' and those things?"
"No, he didn't. He wrote 'Kidnapped' and 'The Black Arrow' and 'David
Balfour,' and a lot of other bully ones."
"'Kidnapped'?" I said. "I'd like to read that. It sounds fine."
"I'll get it for you, if you like."
"You needn't; if I want it I can get it myself, I guess."
"Certainly."
About seven I began to get awfully hungry. Twigg lighted the gas and filled his pipe again. It made me feel sick and funny inside just to see him do it.
