men got out. They are carrying a large
box. Mrs. Cable sees this and told her
servant, Sam, to go and see what the
men were doing. Sam goes out and spoke
to the men but they don't tell him.
When he came back Mrs. Cable is very
angry with him. Next she sent George to
find out. He didn't want to go at
first and Mrs. Cable told him he is
afraid. When he goes out the men ignored
him when he said good morning. He tries
again but this time the big man hit him in
the stomach and he fell on the ground.
