It
was
a
rather
desperate
business
to
come
suddenly
into
one
's
day
's
work
.
I
do
n't
think
that
I
am
a
particularly
brave
man
.
I
have
an
Irish
imagination
which
makes
the
unknown
and
the
untried
more
terrible
than
they
are
.
On
the
other
hand
,
I
was
brought
up
with
a
horror
of
cowardice
and
with
a
terror
of
such
a
stigma
.
I
dare
say
that
I
could
throw
myself
over
a
precipice
,
like
the
Hun
in
the
history
books
,
if
my
courage
to
do
it
were
questioned
,
and
yet
it
would
surely
be
pride
and
fear
,
rather
than
courage
,
which
would
be
my
inspiration
.
Therefore
,
although
every
nerve
in
my
body
shrank
from
the
whisky-maddened
figure
which
I
pictured
in
the
room
above
,
I
still
answered
,
in
as
careless
a
voice
as
I
could
command
,
that
I
was
ready
to
go
.
Some
further
remark
of
Lord
Roxton
's
about
the
danger
only
made
me
irritable
.
"
Talking
wo
n't
make
it
any
better
,
"
said
I.
"
Come
on
.
"
I
rose
from
my
chair
and
he
from
his
.
Then
with
a
little
confidential
chuckle
of
laughter
,
he
patted
me
two
or
three
times
on
the
chest
,
finally
pushing
me
back
into
my
chair
.
"
All
right
,
sonny
my
lad
--
you
'll
do
,
"
said
he
.
I
looked
up
in
surprise
.
"
I
saw
after
Jack
Ballinger
myself
this
mornin
'
.
He
blew
a
hole
in
the
skirt
of
my
kimono
,
bless
his
shaky
old
hand
,
but
we
got
a
jacket
on
him
,
and
he
's
to
be
all
right
in
a
week
.
I
say
,
young
fellah
,
I
hope
you
do
n't
mind
--
what
?
You
see
,
between
you
an
'
me
close-tiled
,
I
look
on
this
South
American
business
as
a
mighty
serious
thing
,
and
if
I
have
a
pal
with
me
I
want
a
man
I
can
bank
on
.
So
I
sized
you
down
,
and
I
'm
bound
to
say
that
you
came
well
out
of
it
.
You
see
,
it
's
all
up
to
you
and
me
,
for
this
old
Summerlee
man
will
want
dry-nursin
'
from
the
first
.
By
the
way
,
are
you
by
any
chance
the
Malone
who
is
expected
to
get
his
Rugby
cap
for
Ireland
?
"
"
A
reserve
,
perhaps
.
"
"
I
thought
I
remembered
your
face
.
Why
,
I
was
there
when
you
got
that
try
against
Richmond
--
as
fine
a
swervin
'
run
as
I
saw
the
whole
season
.
I
never
miss
a
Rugby
match
if
I
can
help
it
,
for
it
is
the
manliest
game
we
have
left
.
Well
,
I
did
n't
ask
you
in
here
just
to
talk
sport
.
We
've
got
to
fix
our
business
.
Here
are
the
sailin
's
,
on
the
first
page
of
the
Times
.
There
's
a
Booth
boat
for
Para
next
Wednesday
week
,
and
if
the
Professor
and
you
can
work
it
,
I
think
we
should
take
it
--
what
?
Very
good
,
I
'll
fix
it
with
him
.
What
about
your
outfit
?
"
"
My
paper
will
see
to
that
.
"
"
Can
you
shoot
?
