cheap [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]016
It was no sense of duty that prompted Hatteras, of that he was certain, and he waited--he waited from darkness to daybreak in his compound for three successive nights. On the fourth he heard the scuffling sound at the corner of the fence. The night was black as the inside of a coffin. Half a regiment of men might steal past him and he not have seen them. Accordingly he walked cautiously to the palisade which separated the enclosure of the Residency from his own, felt along it until he reached the little gate and stationed himself in front of it. In a few moments he thought that he heard a man breathing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but whether to the right or the left he could not tell; and then a groping hand lightly touched his face and drew away again. Walker said nothing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but held his breath and did not move. The hand was stretched out again. This time it touched his breast and moved across it until it felt a button of Walker's coat. Then it was snatched away and Walker heard a gasping in-draw of the breath and afterwards a sound as of a man turning in a flurry. Walker sprang forward and caught a naked shoulder with one hand, a naked arm with the other.
"Wait a bit, Dick Hatteras," he said.
There was a low cry, and then a husky voice addressed him respectfully as "Daddy" in trade-English.
"That won't do,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Dick," said Walker.
The voice babbled more trade-English.
"If you're not Dick Hatteras," continued Walker, tightening his grasp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "You've no manner of right here. I'll give you till I count ten and then I shall shoot."
Walker counted up to nine aloud and then--
"Jim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Hatteras in his natural voice.
"That's better," said Walker. "Let's go in and talk."
