He
poked
the
ribs
of
his
partner
.
"
He
!
he
!
he
!
"
laughed
the
Ancient
,
looked
aimlessly
down
the
street
,
then
peered
at
me
doubtfully
with
sad
,
dim
pupils
...
"
He
!
he
!
he
!
"
...
He
leaned
heavier
on
the
umbrella
,
and
dropped
his
gaze
on
the
ground
.
I
need
n't
tell
you
I
had
tried
to
get
away
several
times
,
but
Chester
had
foiled
every
attempt
by
simply
catching
hold
of
my
coat
.
"
One
minute
.
I
've
a
notion
.
"
"
What
's
your
infernal
notion
?
"
I
exploded
at
last
.
"
If
you
think
I
am
going
in
with
you
.
.
.
"
"
No
,
no
,
my
boy
.
Too
late
,
if
you
wanted
ever
so
much
.
We
've
got
a
steamer
.
"
"
You
've
got
the
ghost
of
a
steamer
,
"
I
said
.
"
Good
enough
for
a
start
--
there
's
no
superior
nonsense
about
us
.
Is
there
,
Captain
Robinson
?
"
"
No
!
no
!
no
!
"
croaked
the
old
man
without
lifting
his
eyes
,
and
the
senile
tremble
of
his
head
became
almost
fierce
with
determination
.
"
I
understand
you
know
that
young
chap
,
"
said
Chester
,
with
a
nod
at
the
street
from
which
Jim
had
disappeared
long
ago
.
"
He
's
been
having
grub
with
you
in
the
Malabar
last
night
--
so
I
was
told
.
"
'
I
said
that
was
true
,
and
after
remarking
that
he
too
liked
to
live
well
and
in
style
,
only
that
,
for
the
present
,
he
had
to
be
saving
of
every
penny
--
"
none
too
many
for
the
business
!
Is
n't
that
so
,
Captain
Robinson
?
"
--
he
squared
his
shoulders
and
stroked
his
dumpy
moustache
,
while
the
notorious
Robinson
,
coughing
at
his
side
,
clung
more
than
ever
to
the
handle
of
the
umbrella
,
and
seemed
ready
to
subside
passively
into
a
heap
of
old
bones
.
"
You
see
,
the
old
chap
has
all
the
money
,
"
whispered
Chester
confidentially
.
"
I
've
been
cleaned
out
trying
to
engineer
the
dratted
thing
.
But
wait
a
bit
,
wait
a
bit
.
The
good
time
is
coming
.
"
...
He
seemed
suddenly
astonished
at
the
signs
of
impatience
I
gave
.
"
Oh
,
crakee
!
"
he
cried
;
"
I
am
telling
you
of
the
biggest
thing
that
ever
was
,
and
you
...
"
"
I
have
an
appointment
,
"
I
pleaded
mildly
.
"
What
of
that
?
"
he
asked
with
genuine
surprise
;
"
let
it
wait
.
"
"
That
's
exactly
what
I
am
doing
now
,
"
I
remarked
;
"
had
n't
you
better
tell
me
what
it
is
you
want
?
"
"
Buy
twenty
hotels
like
that
,
"
he
growled
to
himself
;
"
and
every
joker
boarding
in
them
too
--
twenty
times
over
.
"
He
lifted
his
head
smartly
"
I
want
that
young
chap
.
"
"
I
do
n't
understand
,
"
I
said
.
"
He
's
no
good
,
is
he
?
"
said
Chester
crisply
.
"
I
know
nothing
about
it
,
"
I
protested
.
"
Why
,
you
told
me
yourself
he
was
taking
it
to
heart
,
"
argued
Chester
.
"
Well
,
in
my
opinion
a
chap
who
...
Anyhow
,
he
ca
n't
be
much
good
;
but
then
you
see
I
am
on
the
look-out
for
somebody
,
and
I
've
just
got
a
thing
that
will
suit
him
.
I
'll
give
him
a
job
on
my
island
.
"
He
nodded
significantly
.
"
I
'm
going
to
dump
forty
coolies
there
--
if
I
've
to
steal
'
em
.
Somebody
must
work
the
stuff
.
Oh
!
I
mean
to
act
square
:
wooden
shed
,
corrugated-iron
roof
--
I
know
a
man
in
Hobart
who
will
take
my
bill
at
six
months
for
the
materials
.
I
do
.
Honour
bright
.
Then
there
's
the
water-supply
.
I
'll
have
to
fly
round
and
get
somebody
to
trust
me
for
half-a-dozen
second-hand
iron
tanks
.
Catch
rain-water
,
hey
?
Let
him
take
charge
.
Make
him
supreme
boss
over
the
coolies
.
Good
idea
,
is
n't
it
?
What
do
you
say
?
"
"
There
are
whole
years
when
not
a
drop
of
rain
falls
on
Walpole
,
"
I
said
,
too
amazed
to
laugh
.
He
bit
his
lip
and
seemed
bothered
.
"
Oh
,
well
,
I
will
fix
up
something
for
them
--
or
land
a
supply
.
Hang
it
all
!
That
's
not
the
question
.
"
'
I
said
nothing
.
I
had
a
rapid
vision
of
Jim
perched
on
a
shadowless
rock
,
up
to
his
knees
in
guano
,
with
the
screams
of
sea-birds
in
his
ears
,
the
incandescent
ball
of
the
sun
above
his
head
;
the
empty
sky
and
the
empty
ocean
all
a-quiver
,
simmering
together
in
the
heat
as
far
as
the
eye
could
reach
.
"
I
would
n't
advise
my
worst
enemy
...
"
I
began
.
"
What
's
the
matter
with
you
?
"
cried
Chester
;
"
I
mean
to
give
him
a
good
screw
--
that
is
,
as
soon
as
the
thing
is
set
going
,
of
course
.
It
's
as
easy
as
falling
off
a
log
.
Simply
nothing
to
do
;
two
six-shooters
in
his
belt
...
Surely
he
would
n't
be
afraid
of
anything
forty
coolies
could
do
--
with
two
six-shooters
and
he
the
only
armed
man
too
!
It
's
much
better
than
it
looks
.
I
want
you
to
help
me
to
talk
him
over
.
"
"
No
!
"
I
shouted
.
Old
Robinson
lifted
his
bleared
eyes
dismally
for
a
moment
,
Chester
looked
at
me
with
infinite
contempt
.
"
So
you
would
n't
advise
him
?
"
he
uttered
slowly
.
"
Certainly
not
,
"
I
answered
,
as
indignant
as
though
he
had
requested
me
to
help
murder
somebody
;
"
moreover
,
I
am
sure
he
would
n't
.
He
is
badly
cut
up
,
but
he
is
n't
mad
as
far
as
I
know
.
"
"
He
is
no
earthly
good
for
anything
,
"
Chester
mused
aloud
.
"
He
would
just
have
done
for
me
.
If
you
only
could
see
a
thing
as
it
is
,
you
would
see
it
's
the
very
thing
for
him
.
And
besides
...
Why
!
it
's
the
most
splendid
,
sure
chance
...
"
He
got
angry
suddenly
.
"
I
must
have
a
man
.
There
!
...
"
He
stamped
his
foot
and
smiled
unpleasantly
.
"
Anyhow
,
I
could
guarantee
the
island
would
n't
sink
under
him
--
and
I
believe
he
is
a
bit
particular
on
that
point
.
"
"
Good
morning
,
"
I
said
curtly
.
He
looked
at
me
as
though
I
had
been
an
incomprehensible
fool
...
"
Must
be
moving
,
Captain
Robinson
,
"
he
yelled
suddenly
into
the
old
man
's
ear
.
"
These
Parsee
Johnnies
are
waiting
for
us
to
clinch
the
bargain
.
"
He
took
his
partner
under
the
arm
with
a
firm
grip
,
swung
him
round
,
and
,
unexpectedly
,
leered
at
me
over
his
shoulder
.
"
I
was
trying
to
do
him
a
kindness
,
"
he
asserted
,
with
an
air
and
tone
that
made
my
blood
boil
.
"
Thank
you
for
nothing
--
in
his
name
,
"
I
rejoined
"
Oh
!
you
are
devilish
smart
,
"
he
sneered
;
"
but
you
are
like
the
rest
of
them
.
Too
much
in
the
clouds
.
See
what
you
will
do
with
him
.
"
"
I
do
n't
know
that
I
want
to
do
anything
with
him
.
"
"
Do
n't
you
?
"
he
spluttered
;
his
grey
moustache
bristled
with
anger
,
and
by
his
side
the
notorious
Robinson
,
propped
on
the
umbrella
,
stood
with
his
back
to
me
,
as
patient
and
still
as
a
worn-out
cab-horse
.
"
I
have
n't
found
a
guano
island
,
"
I
said
.
"
It
's
my
belief
you
would
n't
know
one
if
you
were
led
right
up
to
it
by
the
hand
,
"
he
riposted
quickly
;
"
and
in
this
world
you
've
got
to
see
a
thing
first
,
before
you
can
make
use
of
it
.
Got
to
see
it
through
and
through
at
that
,
neither
more
nor
less
.
"
"
And
get
others
to
see
it
too
,
"
I
insinuated
,
with
a
glance
at
the
bowed
back
by
his
side
.
Chester
snorted
at
me
.
"
His
eyes
are
right
enough
--
do
n't
you
worry
.
He
ai
n't
a
puppy
.
"
"
Oh
dear
,
no
!
"
I
said
.
"
Come
along
,
Captain
Robinson
,
"
he
shouted
,
with
a
sort
of
bullying
deference
under
the
rim
of
the
old
man
's
hat
;
the
Holy
Terror
gave
a
submissive
little
jump
.
The
ghost
of
a
steamer
was
waiting
for
them
,
Fortune
on
that
fair
isle
!
They
made
a
curious
pair
of
Argonauts
.
Chester
strode
on
leisurely
,
well
set
up
,
portly
,
and
of
conquering
mien
;
the
other
,
long
,
wasted
,
drooping
,
and
hooked
to
his
arm
,
shuffled
his
withered
shanks
with
desperate
haste
.
'
'
Idid
not
start
in
search
of
Jim
at
once
,
only
because
I
had
really
an
appointment
which
I
could
not
neglect
.
Then
,
as
ill-luck
would
have
it
,
in
my
agent
's
office
I
was
fastened
upon
by
a
fellow
fresh
from
Madagascar
with
a
little
scheme
for
a
wonderful
piece
of
business
.
It
had
something
to
do
with
cattle
and
cartridges
and
a
Prince
Ravonalo
something
;
but
the
pivot
of
the
whole
affair
was
the
stupidity
of
some
admiral
--
Admiral
Pierre
,
I
think
.
Everything
turned
on
that
,
and
the
chap
could
n't
find
words
strong
enough
to
express
his
confidence
.
He
had
globular
eyes
starting
out
of
his
head
with
a
fishy
glitter
,
bumps
on
his
forehead
,
and
wore
his
long
hair
brushed
back
without
a
parting
.
He
had
a
favourite
phrase
which
he
kept
on
repeating
triumphantly
,
"
The
minimum
of
risk
with
the
maximum
of
profit
is
my
motto
.
What
?
"
He
made
my
head
ache
,
spoiled
my
tiffin
,
but
got
his
own
out
of
me
all
right
;
and
as
soon
as
I
had
shaken
him
off
,
I
made
straight
for
the
water-side
.
I
caught
sight
of
Jim
leaning
over
the
parapet
of
the
quay
.
Three
native
boatmen
quarrelling
over
five
annas
were
making
an
awful
row
at
his
elbow
.
He
did
n't
hear
me
come
up
,
but
spun
round
as
if
the
slight
contact
of
my
finger
had
released
a
catch
.
"
I
was
looking
,
"
he
stammered
.
I
do
n't
remember
what
I
said
,
not
much
anyhow
,
but
he
made
no
difficulty
in
following
me
to
the
hotel
.
'
He
followed
me
as
manageable
as
a
little
child
,
with
an
obedient
air
,
with
no
sort
of
manifestation
,
rather
as
though
he
had
been
waiting
for
me
there
to
come
along
and
carry
him
off
.
I
need
not
have
been
so
surprised
as
I
was
at
his
tractability
.
On
all
the
round
earth
,
which
to
some
seems
so
big
and
that
others
affect
to
consider
as
rather
smaller
than
a
mustard-seed
,
he
had
no
place
where
he
could
--
what
shall
I
say
?
--
where
he
could
withdraw
.
That
's
it
!
Withdraw
--
be
alone
with
his
loneliness
.
He
walked
by
my
side
very
calm
,
glancing
here
and
there
,
and
once
turned
his
head
to
look
after
a
Sidiboy
fireman
in
a
cutaway
coat
and
yellowish
trousers
,
whose
black
face
had
silky
gleams
like
a
lump
of
anthracite
coal
.
I
doubt
,
however
,
whether
he
saw
anything
,
or
even
remained
all
the
time
aware
of
my
companionship
,
because
if
I
had
not
edged
him
to
the
left
here
,
or
pulled
him
to
the
right
there
,
I
believe
he
would
have
gone
straight
before
him
in
any
direction
till
stopped
by
a
wall
or
some
other
obstacle
.
I
steered
him
into
my
bedroom
,
and
sat
down
at
once
to
write
letters
.
This
was
the
only
place
in
the
world
(
unless
,
perhaps
,
the
Walpole
Reef
--
but
that
was
not
so
handy
)
where
he
could
have
it
out
with
himself
without
being
bothered
by
the
rest
of
the
universe
.
The
damned
thing
--
as
he
had
expressed
it
--
had
not
made
him
invisible
,
but
I
behaved
exactly
as
though
he
were
.
No
sooner
in
my
chair
I
bent
over
my
writing-desk
like
a
medieval
scribe
,
and
,
but
for
the
movement
of
the
hand
holding
the
pen
,
remained
anxiously
quiet
.
I
ca
n't
say
I
was
frightened
;
but
I
certainly
kept
as
still
as
if
there
had
been
something
dangerous
in
the
room
,
that
at
the
first
hint
of
a
movement
on
my
part
would
be
provoked
to
pounce
upon
me
.
There
was
not
much
in
the
room
--
you
know
how
these
bedrooms
are
--
a
sort
of
four-poster
bedstead
under
a
mosquito-net
,
two
or
three
chairs
,
the
table
I
was
writing
at
,
a
bare
floor
.
A
glass
door
opened
on
an
upstairs
verandah
,
and
he
stood
with
his
face
to
it
,
having
a
hard
time
with
all
possible
privacy
.
Dusk
fell
;
I
lit
a
candle
with
the
greatest
economy
of
movement
and
as
much
prudence
as
though
it
were
an
illegal
proceeding
.
There
is
no
doubt
that
he
had
a
very
hard
time
of
it
,
and
so
had
I
,
even
to
the
point
,
I
must
own
,
of
wishing
him
to
the
devil
,
or
on
Walpole
Reef
at
least
.
It
occurred
to
me
once
or
twice
that
,
after
all
,
Chester
was
,
perhaps
,
the
man
to
deal
effectively
with
such
a
disaster
.
That
strange
idealist
had
found
a
practical
use
for
it
at
once
--
unerringly
,
as
it
were
.
It
was
enough
to
make
one
suspect
that
,
maybe
,
he
really
could
see
the
true
aspect
of
things
that
appeared
mysterious
or
utterly
hopeless
to
less
imaginative
persons
.
I
wrote
and
wrote
;
I
liquidated
all
the
arrears
of
my
correspondence
,
and
then
went
on
writing
to
people
who
had
no
reason
whatever
to
expect
from
me
a
gossipy
letter
about
nothing
at
all
.
At
times
I
stole
a
sidelong
glance
.
He
was
rooted
to
the
spot
,
but
convulsive
shudders
ran
down
his
back
;
his
shoulders
would
heave
suddenly
.
He
was
fighting
,
he
was
fighting
--
mostly
for
his
breath
,
as
it
seemed
.
The
massive
shadows
,
cast
all
one
way
from
the
straight
flame
of
the
candle
,
seemed
possessed
of
gloomy
consciousness
;
the
immobility
of
the
furniture
had
to
my
furtive
eye
an
air
of
attention
.
