"Did you say he was coming up here soon?"
"Yes; but if you want to see him, perhaps you'd better go down to the office."
"No, I reckon I'd better wait here till he comes up."
"Very well, then you'll excuse me for leaving you, for I must go in and look after my prisoner."
"Hold up a moment! What's his name?"
"Bissell."
"Emory E. Bissell—is that it?"
"Yes."
"Badly wounded, isn't he?"
"Yes."
