CHAPTER VII Probably this last remark was meant only to impress him, Bob thought. If the hut would hold him, Harper wouldn’t spend the night watching. It would be too uncomfortable. Moreover, it would be all the same if Harper was able to make his prisoner believe he would be outside waiting for an attempt at escape. Once more he heard a voice. This time it was directed at him. It was Harper. The demon Superstition Nature shocks, “You won’t need to take a bath after this. If you don’t have about five unexpected ones during the day I miss my guess.”.
