By
Jove
,
yes
.
Just
think
of
it
!
What
a
story
to
tell
at
the
club
.
Really
,
Mr
Hannay
,
I
suppose
I
should
be
angry
,
to
show
my
innocence
,
but
it
's
too
funny
!
I
almost
forgive
you
the
fright
you
gave
me
!
You
looked
so
glum
,
I
thought
I
might
have
been
walking
in
my
sleep
and
killing
people
.
"
It
could
n't
be
acting
,
it
was
too
confoundedly
genuine
.
My
heart
went
into
my
boots
,
and
my
first
impulse
was
to
apologize
and
clear
out
.
But
I
told
myself
I
must
see
it
through
,
even
though
I
was
to
be
the
laughing-stock
of
Britain
.
The
light
from
the
dinner-table
candlesticks
was
not
very
good
,
and
to
cover
my
confusion
I
got
up
,
walked
to
the
door
and
switched
on
the
electric
light
.
The
sudden
glare
made
them
blink
,
and
I
stood
scanning
the
three
faces
.
Well
,
I
made
nothing
of
it
.
One
was
old
and
bald
,
one
was
stout
,
one
was
dark
and
thin
.
There
was
nothing
in
their
appearance
to
prevent
them
being
the
three
who
had
hunted
me
in
Scotland
,
but
there
was
nothing
to
identify
them
.
I
simply
ca
n't
explain
why
I
who
,
as
a
roadman
,
had
looked
into
two
pairs
of
eyes
,
and
as
Ned
Ainslie
into
another
pair
,
why
I
,
who
have
a
good
memory
and
reasonable
powers
of
observation
,
could
find
no
satisfaction
.
They
seemed
exactly
what
they
professed
to
be
,
and
I
could
not
have
sworn
to
one
of
them
.
There
in
that
pleasant
dining-room
,
with
etchings
on
the
walls
,
and
a
picture
of
an
old
lady
in
a
bib
above
the
mantelpiece
,
I
could
see
nothing
to
connect
them
with
the
moorland
desperadoes
.
There
was
a
silver
cigarette-box
beside
me
,
and
I
saw
that
it
had
been
won
by
Percival
Appleton
,
Esq.
,
of
the
St
Bede
's
Club
,
in
a
golf
tournament
.
I
had
to
keep
a
firm
hold
of
Peter
Pienaar
to
prevent
myself
bolting
out
of
that
house
.
"
Well
,
"
said
the
old
man
politely
,
"
are
you
reassured
by
your
scrutiny
,
sir
?
"
I
could
n't
find
a
word
.
"
I
hope
you
'll
find
it
consistent
with
your
duty
to
drop
this
ridiculous
business
.
I
make
no
complaint
,
but
you
'll
see
how
annoying
it
must
be
to
respectable
people
.
"
I
shook
my
head
.
