"It ain't safe for me to stand here talking to you unless I do. That Arima fellow might pop up the fire-escape any time." She was back in a few moments. He had heard the window creak down, and had wondered whether the action would add to Arima's suspicion. "If he comes up now," she explained in an undertone, "the glare on the outside of the window will keep him from seeing in very plain."
The duty of these men was to collect together and pack, under Arima's supervision, the whole of Escombe's private and personal belongings; and this they did with such expedition that, in less than half an hour from the involuntary departure of its owner, the tent was almost entirely stripped of its contents and left deserted.
If you don't believe me, why don't you call the cops." "We not want cops. I come in and watch." "But I'm going to hold a circle here in a few minutes." "What?" Arima's voice had a puzzled note. "A séance. The spirits come. You know. All sit around, with the light turned down, and spirits come." "Oh!" The Japanese either understood or pretended to. "I come, then."
Even after this hard fight, when three of his friends lay groaning on the ground when he had in his power the man who had injured them, who had temporarily bested himself Arima's chief thought was still of the papers! He seemed to have none of the semi-barbarian vengefulness that might have been expected. He merely wished the papers wished them the more desperately with every passing moment.
Their errand, the danger, were for the time forgotten, and the motor hummed along with a burden of happiness. "You haven't looked at the papers yet," said Orme, after a time. They were turning east toward Lincoln Park. "Do I need to?" "Perhaps not. I took them from the envelope which you saw at Arima's. But here they are. I did not look at them, of course."
He went on to describe his efforts to get free from Alcatrante. "And you were under the table in Arima's room," she exclaimed, when he had finished. "I was there; but I couldn't see you, Girl. And you seemed to doubt me." "To doubt you?" "Don't you remember? You said that no American had the papers; but you added, unless "
But the question in Arima's mind now was: what precisely was it that had happened to his young master, and whither and why had he gone? For even thus far no glimmering of the hideous truth had reached the Indian's mind. His suspicions and apprehensions were all as yet chaotic and formless, and he was very far from fearing that Escombe's life was in danger.
