Besides, the more I think of it, the more it seems probable.

Yes this man is doubtless a French spy or agitator, especially when I compare these suspicions with the late demonstration of the students at Frankfort." "And, upon that theory, nothing is better fitted to excite and stir up those hot-headed youths than--" He glanced significantly at the two sisters; then, after a pause, he added with a sigh, "Satan does not care by what means he works out his ends!" "Certainly, it would be odious, but well-devised." "And then, Mr Burgomaster, look at him attentively: you will see that this man has a dangerous face.

The latter, notwithstanding his self-command, felt that the restraint he had imposed upon himself, since his arrival at this unlucky inn, and above all wince the commencement of the conversation between Morok and the burgomaster, was becoming no longer bearable; besides, he saw clearly that all his efforts to conciliate the favor of the judge were rendered completely null by the fatal influence of the brute-tamer; so, losing patience, he advanced towards him with his arms folded on his breast, and said to him in a subdued voice: "Was it of me that you were whispering to Mr.Burgomaster ?" "Yes," said Morok, looking fixedly at him.
"Why did you not speak out loud ?" Having said this, the almost convulsive movement of his thick moustache, as he stood looping Morok full in the face, gave evidence of a severe internal conflict.
