"Go on it's like a bench-show " "We called them Bengalis but that is just the trade-name " "You intimated he might have a lady-friend do they hunt in couples?" The boy didn't answer that.

They had been alarmed by the uproar. As soon as they were aboard Desmond decided to drop a mile or two farther down the river.
