So
,
notwithstanding
the
fine
promises
of
the
two
,
I
resolved
to
address
myself
personally
to
Len
Guy
,
hard
to
get
at
though
he
might
be
,
so
soon
as
I
should
meet
him
alone
.
The
next
day
,
in
the
afternoon
,
I
saw
him
on
the
quay
,
and
approached
him
.
It
was
plain
that
he
would
have
preferred
to
avoid
me
.
It
was
impossible
that
Captain
Len
Guy
,
who
knew
every
dweller
in
the
place
,
should
not
have
known
that
I
was
a
stranger
,
even
supposing
that
neither
of
my
would
-
be
patrons
had
mentioned
me
to
him
.
His
attitude
could
only
signify
one
of
two
things
—
either
my
proposal
had
been
communicated
to
him
,
and
he
did
not
intend
to
accede
to
it
;
or
neither
Hurliguerly
nor
Atkins
had
spoken
to
him
since
the
previous
day
.
In
the
latter
case
,
if
he
held
aloof
from
me
,
it
was
because
of
his
morose
nature
;
it
was
because
he
did
not
choose
to
enter
into
conversation
with
a
stranger
.
At
the
moment
when
I
was
about
to
accost
him
,
the
Halbrane
’
s
lieutenant
rejoined
his
captain
,
and
the
latter
availed
himself
of
the
opportunity
to
avoid
me
.
He
made
a
sign
to
the
officer
to
follow
him
,
and
the
two
walked
away
at
a
rapid
pace
.
“
This
is
serious
,
”
said
I
to
myself
.
“
It
looks
as
though
I
shall
find
it
difficult
to
gain
my
point
.
But
,
after
all
it
only
means
delay
.
To
-
morrow
morning
I
will
go
on
board
the
Halbrane
.
Whether
he
likes
it
or
whether
he
doesn
’
t
,
this
Len
Guy
will
have
to
hear
what
I
’
ve
got
to
say
,
and
to
give
me
an
answer
,
yes
or
no
!
”
Besides
,
the
captain
of
the
Halbrane
might
come
at
dinner
-
time
to
the
Green
Cormorant
,
where
the
ship
’
s
people
usually
took
their
meals
when
ashore
.
So
I
waited
,
and
did
not
go
to
dinner
until
late
.
I
was
disappointed
,
however
,
for
neither
the
captain
nor
anyone
belonging
to
the
ship
patronized
the
Green
Cormorant
that
day
.
I
had
to
dine
alone
,
exactly
as
I
had
been
doing
every
day
for
two
months
.
After
dinner
,
about
half
-
past
seven
,
when
it
was
dark
,
I
went
out
to
walk
on
the
port
,
keeping
on
the
side
of
the
houses
.
The
quay
was
quite
deserted
;
not
a
man
of
the
Halbrane
crew
was
ashore
.
The
ship
’
s
boats
were
alongside
,
rocking
gently
on
the
rising
tide
.
I
remained
there
until
nine
,
walking
up
and
down
the
edge
in
full
view
of
the
Halbrane
.
Gradually
the
mass
of
the
ship
became
indistinct
,
there
was
no
movement
and
no
light
.
I
returned
to
the
inn
,
where
I
found
Atkins
smoking
his
pipe
near
the
door
.
“
Atkins
,
”
said
I
,
“
it
seems
that
Captain
Len
Guy
does
not
care
to
come
to
your
inn
very
often
?
”
“
He
sometimes
comes
on
Sunday
,
and
this
is
Saturday
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
.
