[Affair in Araby by Talbot Mundy]@TWC D-Link bookAffair in Araby CHAPTER VIII 20/21
But understand now; I am a dangerous man.
You have fortune in one hand, but destruction in the other!" "Very well; but this may take me an hour, and if you grow impatient, and that Indian sees you peering into the compartment after having watched you and me talking all this time, he'll grow suspicious." "All right; I'll go to the car behind.
As soon as you have the letter, come and tell me." So Jeremy came back and entertained Grim and me with a burlesque account of the interview, after whispering to Narayan Singh to give the alarm in the event of Yussuf Dakmar returning forward to spy on us.
Grim put the doped whisky into his valise after a sniff at it, instead of throwing it out of the window at my suggestion; and after a suitable interval he went out in the part of the Turk to look for the imaginary beautiful Armenian.
Then I gave Jeremy the fake letter back, and went to sleep. So it's no use asking me what the country looks like between Ludd and Haifa.
