Philip, whom the heat of the apartment recovered from his frozen state, was so bewildered with the scene that he could scarcely nod his head as different masks addressed him, some confidentially, others deferentially.

That will allay suspicion. First we must seek the house of Ramabai. I need money for bribery." Bruce searched his wallet. It was empty. He had given all he had to the Brahmin. "You lead, Ahmed.
"Let us ask this man," said the Brahmin, "what the creature is, and I will stand by what he shall say." To this the others agreed; and the Brahmin called out, "Oh stranger, what dost thou call this beast?" "Surely, oh Brahmin," said the knave, "it is a fine sheep."
