Chapter Twenty Three of "Kidnapped"

When they reach Cluny's hideaway Cluny welcomes them. It is a hut made from trees, leaves and other natural things, and it serves as an excellent hideout. Cluny is a fugitive chief of a clan put down by the English government. He lives well in his small home, but he can hardly ever leave. He has been cooped up so long that has some strange habits.

They stay for a couple of days, in which Davie sleeps because he feels sick and Alan gambles. In fact, Alan gambles away all of their money. Davie is of course extremely angry about this and is forced to ask for the money. Cluny doesn't give it back though which just makes Davie angrier at Alan. They leave shortly.
