"But, Billy Bye, supposin' the cold-eyed burruds an' the hissin' serpents should be returnin' to threaten me wance ag'in?" He bowed as though to the applause of an audience, and looked the better pleased with Mr Lawrence for having heard him. Billy was standing up now, his perplexed face turned questioningly on his chums. Billy frowned. "What did Hinter say when you gave him the message, Harry?".
