"Hazy, I'm afraid the lot will have to fall to you." "I'd rather go with you," Hazelton declared.
"Of course you would," Tom assented.

"But at least one good man must stay here and look after our outfit.

So you stay, Harry, and Dan and Greg will go with me." "Going to take the lantern ?" asked Greg, jumping up.
"Yes," Tom nodded, "but we won't light it unless we need it.

"These young gents have furnished us with some exercise," he grinned wickedly.

"Now, suppose we make 'em supply us with a little amusement ?" "It's risky, close to the road," returned one of the tramps who had been back in the shadows.
