You’re a right game kid, sure.”,"Your own conscience!" he repeated, in disdain. "How can you talk in that manner? What excuse can you--",Bob’s mind began to act quickly.

Honestly speaking the major was puzzled by the conduct of his ward. Hitherto, he had always considered David to be an honest man, but at the present time his conduct savored of duplicity.
