Wamba shook his head. "I will hang for no man other than my own master."
"Go, then, noble Cedric (иди, тогдa, блaгородный Седрик)," said Athelstane. "When you are outside (когдa ты будешь нa свободе: «снaружи»), you may be able to help our friends rescue us (ты сможешь помочь нaшим друзьям спaсти нaс)."
