No hanging around in the corners.Come on the move. You're out
here for exercise. I knew theman could spring us sooner, and lady

with him. Don't worry Keino.If he can use me, I can
use him. I'll let him getus out of here and then we'll see
for what else. Fors they're goingto ring the bell right away from what
I say, you know, rightafter supper, before we've marched out,
(03:35):
they'll get disturbance. I've attended tothat. Who's in on it? All
the men we need, most ofthem will head for the gates. I've
arranged that too. But you andI and a few more will rush the
steam plants. Well what's that for? Well, for one thing, it's
close to the walls. For another, never mind, Now there goes the
bell. Hey, horse, lookup in the window the warden's office.
