for the latter than the former.
Blobs was watching for me outside

in state of excitement bordering on

save to tip me wink that meant "As

was a gleam of indignant satisfaction

the debris at the bottom of the shaft,
quieted his prisoners with the as.
surance that the lock had slipped, and
that they would be free as lords as
soon as we could find the janitor with

and discovered Blobs, with the key in
his pocket, telling the engineer how
