Mr.Caswall came so soon after I arrived, that he, or someone on his behalf, must have been watching for me.

He was followed closely by the negro, who was puffing hard as if he had been running--so it was probably he who watched.

Mr.Caswall was very cool and collected, but there was a more than usually iron look about his face that I did not like.

However, we got on very well.

He talked pleasantly on all sorts of questions.
