"'
It
was
not
,
"
I
admitted
.
He
appeared
changed
,
as
if
he
had
suddenly
matured
.
352
"'
One
could
n't
be
sure
,
"
he
muttered
.
353
"'
Ah
!
You
were
not
sure
,
"
I
said
,
and
was
placated
by
the
sound
of
a
faint
sigh
that
passed
between
us
like
the
flight
of
a
bird
in
the
night
.

"'
Well
,
I
was
n't
,
"
he
said
courageously
.
"
It
was
something
like
that
wretched
story
they
made
up
.
It
was
not
a
lie
--
but
it
was
n't
truth
all
the
same
.
It
was
something
...
One
knows
a
downright
lie
.
There
was
not
the
thickness
of
a
sheet
of
paper
between
the
right
and
the
wrong
of
this
affair
.
"
355
"'
How
much
more
did
you
want
?
"
I
asked
;
but
I
think
I
spoke
so
low
that
he
did
not
catch
what
I
said
.
He
had
advanced
his
argument
as
though
life
had
been
a
network
of
paths
separated
by
chasms
.
His
voice
sounded
reasonable
.
356
"'
Suppose
I
had
not
--
I
mean
to
say
,
suppose
I
had
stuck
to
the
ship
?
Well
.
How
much
longer
?
Say
a
minute
--
half
a
minute
.
Come
.
357
In
thirty
seconds
,
as
it
seemed
certain
then
,
I
would
have
been
overboard
;
and
do
you
think
I
would
not
have
laid
hold
of
the
first
thing
that
came
in
my
way
--
oar
,
life-buoy
,
grating
--
anything
?
Would
n't
you
?

And
be
saved
,
"
I
interjected
.
359
"'
I
would
have
meant
to
be
,
"
he
retorted
.
"
And
that
's
more
than
I
meant
when
I
"
...
he
shivered
as
if
about
to
swallow
some
nauseous
drug
...
"
jumped
,
"
he
pronounced
with
a
convulsive
effort
,
whose
stress
,
as
if
propagated
by
the
waves
of
the
air
,
made
my
body
stir
a
little
in
the
chair
.
He
fixed
me
with
lowering
eyes
.
"
Do
n't
you
believe
me
?
"
he
cried
.
"
I
swear
!
...
Confound
it
!
You
got
me
here
to
talk
,
and
...
You
must
!
...
You
said
you
would
believe
.
"
"
Of
course
I
do
,
"
I
protested
,
in
a
matter-of-fact
tone
which
produced
a
calming
effect
.
"
Forgive
me
,
"
he
said
.
"
Of
course
I
would
n't
have
talked
to
you
about
all
this
if
you
had
not
been
a
gentleman
.
I
ought
to
have
known
...
I
am
--
I
am
--
a
gentleman
too
.
.
.
"
"
Yes
,
yes
,
"
I
said
hastily
.
He
was
looking
me
squarely
in
the
face
,
and
withdrew
his
gaze
slowly
.
"
Now
you
understand
why
I
did
n't
after
all
...
did
n't
go
out
in
that
way
.
I
was
n't
going
to
be
frightened
at
what
I
had
done
.
And
,
anyhow
,
if
I
had
stuck
to
the
ship
I
would
have
done
my
best
to
be
saved
.
Men
have
been
known
to
float
for
hours
--
in
the
open
sea
--
and
be
picked
up
not
much
the
worse
for
it
.
I
might
have
lasted
it
out
better
than
many
others
.
There
's
nothing
the
matter
with
my
heart
.

He
withdrew
his
right
fist
from
his
pocket
,
and
the
blow
he
struck
on
his
chest
resounded
like
a
muffled
detonation
in
the
night
.
