Just then there came a scratching at the door. “It’s Flash!” Cherry cried. “We’ve all forgotten him.”
As she threw the door open the dog went creeping across the floor to curl up, still whining low, at Alice’s feet.
Chapter XV
Until the Very End
For sometime the dog lay quietly at Alice’s feet. At last, once more at ease, he rose, stretched himself, walked twice across the dungeon floor, then, marching up to Dave whined low.
“What’s this?” Dave demanded. “You want to go out again? Haven’t you had enough for one night?”
In answer the dog walked to the door, then whined again.
“O. K.,” said Dave “I don’t hear any motors. Perhaps the big show is over. Let’s get going.”
“I’ll go with you,” Brand said quietly.
Arrived at the outer castle door, Dave took one look, then let out a low whistle. “Old boy,” he said in a hoarse voice, looking down at the dog, “how did you escape?”
“What do you mean, escape?” Brand asked.
