The Lady 's Attendants are too numerous for us to overpower them : Unless our Associates arrive in time , we must needs let these Travellers set out tomorrow without damage or hurt . ' `` Tis plaguy unlucky that my Comrades who drove the Coach should be those unacquainted with our Confederacy ! But never fear , Friend Baptiste . An hour will bring me to the Cavern ; It is now but ten o'clock , and by twelve you may expect the arrival of the Band . By the bye , take care of your Wife : You know how strong is her repugnance to our mode of life , and She may find means to give information to the Lady 's Servants of our design . ' ` Oh ! I am secure of her silence ; She is too much afraid of me , and fond of her children , to dare to betray my secret .
