"I wonder if I can't talk to my brother?" went on Dick.

"It's against the rules to talk to a prisoner."

Dick was about to ask why, when Sam nudged him on the arm. "Let him go," whispered the younger brother.

In a moment more Captain Harry had walked away.

"Don't you see what he meant?" asked Sam aloud.

"Well hardly."
