And then, speaking this time out of the right corner of his mouth, which was now nearer Cleggett, without disturbing the left half of his face, he pointed towards the oblong box and murmured huskily: "That's my job." He went and sat down on the box again.
Without more ado Cleggett lifted the lady and bore her onto the Jasper B.She was a heavy burden, but Cleggett declined the assistance of Cap'n Abernethy and George the Greek, who had come tardily out of the forecastle and now offered their assistance.
"Get a bottle of wine," he told Yosh, as he passed the Japanese on the deck, "and then make some tea." Cleggett laid the lady on a couch in the cabin, and then lighted a lamp, as it got dark early in these quarters.

While he waited for Yoshahira Kuroki and the wine, he looked at her.

In her appealing helplessness she looked even more beautiful than she had at first.

She was a blonde, with eyebrows and lashes darker than her hair; and, even in her swoon, Cleggett could see that she was of the thin-skinned, high-colored type.

Her eyes, as he had seen before she swooned, were of a deep, dark violet color.
