They'd let the cat out o' the bag sure.

Paul having already received instructions placed a tray furnished for a meal beside his master on the table; and Mr Lawrence cut some fowl and bacon, adding vegetables, and filled a small tumbler with red wine, and then,[Pg 264] stepping to the door of the berth in which Lucy Acton was confined, he almost noiselessly inserted the key and softly shot the latch, and resumed his seat, and Paul, bearing the tray of food, knocked on the door, and receiving no reply entered, and the motion of the ship upon a long, steady heave of swell slammed the door to after him.

Your Royal Highness shall see my treasure, but you are too great as a Prince, and too virtuous as a man, to betray me.","She was carryin' the big meat-platter on her arm an' she fell with her arm under her—an' broke it.","I guess I didn't think about it," said the boy.
