“Put everything back that does not belong to us,” I ordered. “No,” said Akshelah. I reiterated my command almost angrily, and the girl obeyed, Redpath thanking me after his own manner. “It is a mistake to return more than I asked for.” I proposed going, lest MacCaskill should be hunting for us, but Redpath, to my surprise, requested me to favour him with a complete account of our doings since he had made his terrible plunge off the _Carillon_.
