For a moment stark fear looked out of Ainley's eyes and he visibly flinched, then he recovered himself and broke into harsh laughter. "You think? Then you think wrong, and I wouldn't say that again if I were you. It might lead to sudden trouble. If I were the man who fired those shots why should I be spending my time looking for her as I am?" "I not know," said the half-breed sullenly.
I wonder if that man is one of them?" Gerald Ainley's face had regained its natural colour.

He thought of the white tent on the river bank and of the man sleeping outside of it, and instantly guessed who had occupied the tent. "Oui!" he replied laconically. "You have?" Sudden excitement blazed in Ainley's face as he asked the question. "When? Where?"

I never thought Hallo! Who's this?
