Do not think because you are an escaped prisoner that you are to rest in idleness and luxury, doing no work while I do it all." "God bless you, Tayoga!" exclaimed Robert, in the fullness of his emotion.
"I'll work a week without stopping if you say so.

I'm so glad to see you that I'll do anything you say, and ask no questions.
