I will not condescend to argue such a matter with you! Begone, and do not return to my presence until you have learned not to interfere in my affairs." "For all that, my wife shall not know her!" snarled monsieur; and then, as his brother took a fiery step or two towards him, he turned and scuttled out of the room as fast as his awkward gait and high heels would allow him.
"At the Mission Station a little more than half an hour ago," I answered, looking at my watch. "At the station a little more than half an hour ago! Peste! it is not possible. You dream or are drunken," he cried excitedly. "All right, monsieur, we will argue afterwards," I answered. "Meanwhile the Kaffirs are here, for I rode through them; and if you want to save your life, stop talking and act.
"The man's a spy, an informer, a paid liar, a villain that takes gold and perjures himself." "That's true, over true. And yet he wanted to save our lives to-day. I tell you the man's not all bad. There's something of the grace of God left in him after all." Neal was not inclined to argue about the matter. He sat silent, watching star after star shine out of the moonless sky.
