As long as he knew he could loosen them at will , he decided to remain as though bound . This would make Wakely think he was in no position to escape , and the man would not keep such close watch . Soon after this voices were heard in the outer room , and Roy knew some one was with his guard . They did not come into the apartment , and the boy saw nothing of any one until , at noon , more food was brought to him . He deemed it inadvisable to attempt to escape now , and resolved to wait another day . Night came , supper was brought , and again Roy was locked in . He was beginning to be very uncomfortable , lying in bed so long .
