"Can you and I, alone, reach his camp?" asked the Hon. Morison. "Yes, Bwana," assured the black. Baynes turned toward the head-man. He was conversant with "Hanson's" plans now.
When he had put on his overcoat and was about to go he turned to my uncle and said: "Peabody Baynes, if I have had any success in the world it is because I have had the exalted honor and consciousness that I represented men like you." He left us and we sat down by the glowing candles. Soon I told them what Ramsey had done. There was a moment of silence.
"I suppose that you have no objection to my collaborating with you, Mr. Baynes?" "Highly honoured, sir, I am sure." "You appear to have been very prompt and businesslike in all that you have done. Was there any clue, may I ask, as to the exact hour that the man met his death?" "He had been there since one o'clock. There was rain about that time, and his death had certainly been before the rain."
Suddenly Omar, who stood next me, exclaimed in his broken English: "The Volta empties itself into the Gulf of Guinea. I've been there." "Quite correct," nodded the master approvingly, while Baynes, the fellow on my left, whispered: "Yellow-Face has been there! He's a Guinea Pig see?"
Also it did much toward making a martyr of Baynes in her eyes and arousing in her breast a keen feeling of loyalty toward him. What she had half-mistaken for love before, she now wholly mistook for love. Bwana and My Dear might have told her much of the social barriers that they only too well knew Baynes must feel existed between Meriem and himself, but they hesitated to wound her.
Howard asked to have the dinner sent up, requesting Mrs. Baynes to make up a little more from her own pantry, if she could. "'That shall be done, ma'am, she answered; and she added some eggs and bacon and a currant tart to Mrs. Howard's four bones of roast lamb. "'We should like to dine with you, ma'am, said one of the little girls, 'and to drink tea with you sometimes. "Mrs.
She had written on its fly-leaf: "To Barton Baynes, from a friend." "That woman 'pears to like you purty thorough," said Uncle Peabody. "Well, let her if she wants to poor thing!" Aunt Deel answered. "A woman has got to have somebody to like ayes! or I dunno how she'd live I declare I don't ayes!" "I like her, too," I said. "She's been a good friend to me." "She has, sart'n," my uncle agreed.
At last the visitors arrived. There were three men and two women the wives of the two older men. The youngest member of the party was Hon. Morison Baynes, a young man of considerable wealth who, having exhausted all the possibilities for pleasure offered by the capitals of Europe, had gladly seized upon this opportunity to turn to another continent for excitement and adventure.
Serve him right for sticking at the price; the only thing the fellow thought of was money. Had he given too much, though? It wanted a lot of doing to He dared say he would want all his money before he had done with this affair of June's. He ought never to have allowed the engagement. She had met this Bosinney at the house of Baynes, Baynes and Bildeboy, the architects.
I must admit that my knowledge of Chinese was very scanty, so scanty indeed as to be almost non-existent. What few words I knew were rarely intelligible; but, as Mrs. General Baynes, when staying at Boulogne, found Hindostanee to be of great help in speaking French, so did I discover that English was of great assistance to me in conversing in Chinese.
