Still this wish of yours to go into this city this idea of yours . Yes, now I think the thing over it seems to me not altogether . It can be contrived. If you would really find an interest in that! You are, of course, Master. You can go soon if you like. A disguise for this excursion Asano will be able to manage. He would go with you. After all it is not a bad idea of yours."
And then a lank, grey-bearded man, perspiring copiously in a noble passion of self-help, blind to all earthly things save that glaring, bait, thrust between them in a cataclysmal rush towards that alluring "x 5 pr. "I want to get out of this," said Graham to Asano. "This is not what I came to see. Show me the workers. I want to see the people in blue. These parasitic lunatics "
The common traffic of the city, the common currency indeed of all the world, was conducted by means of the little brown, green and pink council cheques for small amounts, printed with a blank payee. Asano had several with him, and at the first opportunity he supplied the gaps in his set.
The Black Police are coming from South Africa.... The Black Police. The Black Police." Asano's face was white and astonished; he hesitated, looked at Graham's face, and told him the thing he already knew. "But how can they know?" asked Asano. Graham heard someone shouting. "Stop all work.
"It has come," he said. "I might have known. The hour has come." He thought swiftly. "What am I to do?" "Go back to the Council House," said Asano. "Why should I not appeal ? The people are here." "You will lose time. They will doubt if it is you. But they will mass about the Council House. There you will find their leaders. Your strength is there with them." "Suppose this is only a rumour?"

The tenant of the apartment could connect this with the cables of any of the great News Syndicates that he preferred. When he learnt this presently, he demanded the reason of their absence from his own suite of apartments. Asano was embarrassed. "I never thought," he said. "Ostrog must have had them removed." Graham stared. "How was I to know?" he exclaimed.
He had one picture of some commanding position from which he could address the multitudes, another of meeting Ostrog face to face. He was full of rage, of tense muscular excitement, his hands gripped, his lips were pressed together. The way to the Council House across the ruins was impassable, but Asano met that difficulty and took Graham into the premises of the central post-office.
This person stayed close beside Graham and Asano on the swift way, shouting to the people who swarmed on the lower platforms as he rushed past them. His cry about Ostrog alternated with some incomprehensible orders Presently he went leaping down and disappeared. Graham's mind was filled with the din. His plans were vague and unformed.
Presently Asano made a detour to avoid the congested crowd that gaped upon the occasional passage of dead bodies from hospital to a mortuary, the gleanings after death's harvest of the first revolt. That night few people were sleeping, everyone was abroad.
