"Out quick!" I whispered, and turned and went.
"What-- ?" he began.
"Torode of Herm is there." "The devil! Did he see you ?" "I think so.

"You are quite sure, Carre ?" he panted, as we ran.
"Quite sure.

His eyes drew mine, and I knew him as he knew me." "Never knew him to go there before.

Devil's luck he should be there to-night." I think it no shame to confess to a very great fear, for of a surety, now, the earth was not large enough for this man and me.

I held his life in my hand as surely as though he were but a grasshopper, and he knew it.
