“You—! Is that why you are out at night?”
“Yes. I knew he had been taken by the two Mr. Scantlebrays at Wadebridge, and I could not rest. I felt sure he was miserable, and was dying for me.”
“So—in the night you went to him?”
“Yes.”
“But how did you get him his freedom?”
“I found him locked in the black-hole, in the cellar.”
“And did Scantlebray look on passively while you released him?”
“Oh, no, I let Jamie out, and locked him in, in his place.”
“You—Scantlebray in the black-hole!”
“Yes.”
