"You do not ask me the name, Mynheer Martinus," he said.

"Do you feel no curiosity at all about it ?" "What was it ?" asked Martinus, thickly.
"Achille Garay." Martinus trembled violently, but by a supreme effort controlled himself.
"I never heard it before," he said.

"It sounds like a French name." "It is a French name.

I'm quite confident of it.
