"Jim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said he,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], after five minutes of restraint, "I am engaged to be married."
Jim danced round him in delight. "What an ass I have been,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he thought, "why didn't I think of that cure myself?" and he asked, "When is it to be?"
"In eight months. You'll come home and see me through."
Walker agreed and for eight months listened to praises of the lady. There were no more solitary expeditions. In fact, Hatteras seemed absorbed in the diurnal discovery of new perfections in his future wife.
"Yes, she seems a nice girl,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Walker commented. He found her upon his arrival in England more human than Hatteras' conversation had led him to expect,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and she proved to him that she was a nice girl. For she listened for hours to him lecturing her on the proper way to treat Dick without the slightest irritation and with only a faintly visible amusement. Besides she insisted on returning with her husband to Bonny river, which was a sufficiently courageous thing to undertake.
For a year in spite of the climate the couple were commonplace and happy. For a year Walker clucked about them like a hen after its chickens and slept the sleep of the untroubled. Then he returned to England and from that time made only occasional journeys to West Africa. Thus for awhile he almost lost sight of Hatteras and consequently still slept the sleep of the untroubled. One morning, however, he arrived unexpectedly at the settlement and at once called on Hatteras. He did not wait to be announced, but ran up the steps outside the house and into the dining-room. He found Mrs. Hatteras crying. She dried her eyes, welcomed Walker, and said that she was sorry, but her husband was away.
