‘Yes, ma’am,’ agreed Gerald with a grin. ‘Parbleu,’ she uttered indignantly. “I doubted my luck, at least. But no matter how you phrase it, the end is the same. She had
even confided to him how lonely it was in the island. "
Jack was about to comply; but not liking the man's manner, he walked on. Baptist Kettleby (for so was the Master named) was a "goodly portly man, and a
corpulent," whose fair round paunch bespoke the affection he entertained for
good liquor and good living. A forgotten island beyond the ship
lanes, where that grim Hand would falter and move blindly in its search for him!
From what he had read, there wouldn't be much to do; and in the idle hours he
could write. ‘Does Charvill know that this Melusine of yours is here?’
The question distracted Gerald. If any of you—or all of you feel the same in six months’
time from to-day, will you come, if you care to, and see me then?”
There was a brief silence.
