Chapter XIV
CLOSE QUARTERS. “It’s not for me to say what you’ll do or not do, since you now appear to hold the ribbons. It’s up to you, Badger, and not for me to say.” The above came from Nick Carter several hours after the tragic episode enacted in the woodland road. Bound hand and foot, with his head rudely bandaged, Nick sat propped against one of four stone walls, evidently those of a small cellar, or possibly a wine-vault, with but one heavy door through which the place was accessible.
