"You want me to call all's-er-well, instead of all's-well? Is that the idea?" "Good. We slip up on guard; you take man at One, me man at Two; we kill 'em quick and make no noise. Man at Three far off; him no count. Me wait then till time for next call. If me hear all's-er-well, me know you no dead, and go in water. Then you come quick and quiet to place where Two is dead and make call for him.
Yet perhaps the truest reason why my nerves had turned to steel was the dominating thought of Sylvia. Twice I rehearsed before Smilax what I was to do. I stood apart and called: "Post One, nine o'clock, and all's-er-well!" to let him judge if my voice differed materially from the one we heard last night. This was most important, as the suspicion of the guard at post Three must not be aroused.
Springing up, and trying to calm my breathing, I called: "Post one, 'leven o'clock, and all's-er-well!" The last word had no more than been pronounced when I was moving swiftly, silently on post number two. True to his intention, Smilax had prepared the way. "Post two, 'leven o'clock, and all's-er-well!" I called in an altered voice.
"She go in," Smilax continued, "and tell Lady, then Lady come out and say: 'Good. We be ready. How we know when you come? And me tell her this, Mister Jack, so you listen for you have to do um. Me say: 'You hear men call what time? She say she do. Me say: 'You hear 'em call all's well? She say she do, and me say: 'When you hear one call all's-er-well, unlock door for me come quick."
