"A fine speech from Sir Edward to-night," said Lord Billingsgate, as, arm-and-arm with the Premier, he entered his carriage. "Yes! but how dreadfully he coughs!" "Exactly. Dr. Bolus says his lungs are entirely gone; he breathes entirely by an effort of will, and altogether independent of pulmonary assistance." "How strange!" and the carriage rolled away. "ADON AI, appear! appear!"
"But have no fear, adôn," he reassured them, "the chart is not exact it is that which has delayed us. It will adjust itself. The light may long disappear, but it will come again. The gods will permit the possible." They looked at one another doubtfully when the two little brown men had gone below, where Barnay had immediately retired, tucking his beard in his collar and muttering sedition.
The Emperor of China reckons himself next after the king of the Arabs, after him the king of the Greeks, and lastly the Balhara , or king of the Moharmi al Adon, or people who have their ears bored.
George asked as they rolled away, "what is it that you have come to tell Miss Holland?" Only one of the men spoke, the other appearing content to show two rows of exceptionally white teeth. "May we not know, adôn," asked the man respectfully, "whether the prince has given her his news? And if the prince is still in your land?"
"Are you ready, adôn?" asked Jarvo and Akko at the same moment. "Ready!" cried St. George impatiently. "Ready," said Amory languidly, and added one thought more: "I hope for Chillingworth's sake," he said, "that Frothingham is a notary public. We'll have to have somebody's seal at the bottom of all this copy." The baskets were lightly lifted.
"It is not well," said Jarvo, handing the vase with reluctance, "yet take it but see that it touches no lips. I charge you that, adôn." Amory smiled and slipped the little vase in his coat pocket. "It's all right," he said, "I won't let it get away from me. I can find my legs now; I'll go back down. Look sharp, Rollo. Be down there with the oil-skins.
We pledge you our word of honour, in addition, not to dive overboard. Now lead on." "It has never been done," said the little brown man with obstinacy, "you will lose your reason, adôn." "Ah well now, if we do," said St. George, "pitch us over and leave us. Besides, I think we have. Lead on, please." Against the will of the others, he prevailed.
"The prince knew nothing of your country, adôn," answered Jarvo simply. "He might have needed us to enter it." "To climb the custom-house," said Amory abstractedly, and laughed out suddenly in sheer light-heartedness. Here was come to them an undertaking to which St. George himself must warm as he had warmed at the prospect of the voyage.
"How did it happen?" he said. "Who did it? Was it the guard? What did they do it for?" "It looks to me," said St. George only, peering distractedly into the gloom, "as if all those fellows had on uniforms. Can you see?" Jarvo spoke softly. "It is true, adôn," he said, "they are of the guard. This is what they had planned," he added to Amory. "I feared the harm would be to you. It is the same.
These were like long baskets, upborne by a pole of great flexibility broadening to a wider support beneath the body of the basket and provided with rubber straps through which the arms were passed. When St. George and Amory were seated, Jarvo spoke hesitatingly: "We must bandage your eyes, adôn," he said. "Oh really, really," protested St. George, "we don't understand half we do see.
