They
carried
on
their
discussion
standing
where
they
had
come
face
to
face
.
Mr.
Van
Wyk
observed
his
visitor
with
attention
.
Then
at
last
,
as
if
forced
out
of
his
reserve
--
"
I
am
surprised
that
you
should
intercede
for
such
a
confounded
fool
.
"
This
outbreak
was
almost
complimentary
,
as
if
its
meaning
had
been
,
"
That
such
a
man
as
you
should
intercede
!
"
Captain
Whalley
let
it
pass
by
without
flinching
.
One
would
have
thought
he
had
heard
nothing
.
He
simply
went
on
to
state
that
he
was
personally
interested
in
putting
things
straight
between
them
.
Personally
...
But
Mr.
Van
Wyk
,
really
carried
away
by
his
disgust
with
Massy
,
became
very
incisive
--
"
Indeed
--
if
I
am
to
be
frank
with
you
--
his
whole
character
does
not
seem
to
me
particularly
estimable
or
trustworthy
...
"
Captain
Whalley
,
always
straight
,
seemed
to
grow
an
inch
taller
and
broader
,
as
if
the
girth
of
his
chest
had
suddenly
expanded
under
his
beard
.
"
My
dear
sir
,
you
do
n't
think
I
came
here
to
discuss
a
man
with
whom
I
am
--
I
am
--
h
'm
--
closely
associated
.
"
A
sort
of
solemn
silence
lasted
for
a
moment
.
He
was
not
used
to
asking
favors
,
but
the
importance
he
attached
to
this
affair
had
made
him
willing
to
try
...
Mr.
Van
Wyk
,
favorably
impressed
,
and
suddenly
mollified
by
a
desire
to
laugh
,
interrupted
--
"
That
's
all
right
if
you
make
it
a
personal
matter
;
but
you
can
do
no
less
than
sit
down
and
smoke
a
cigar
with
me
.
"
