"He's in there," Cumshaw said, following the other's glance, "but there isn't anything to worry about. He's as dead as a door-nail." "Dead," Bradby repeated dazedly. Cumshaw nodded. "This many a day," he said in semi-explanation. "But come in and see what there is to be seen." As if perfectly sure of his companion's acquiescence he turned and walked into the hut.
Now, it so happened that these children had seen what Typhon's accomplices had done with the body, and they accordingly told her by what mouth of the Nile it had been conveyed to the sea.
You have of course not the slightest doubt as to my view of this matter; otherwise, my dearest friend, I should have to think that you had gone out of your mind. Excuse the word!
