When he reached it Bransome said to Jean Graham in the hearing of Miss Savine: "The old man has taken in yonder guileless stranger who has put two good dollars' worth of work into that job already, and the rock's rather faster than it was before." "Did he say Mr. Graham hired him?" asked Helen, and she drew her own inference when Bransome answered: "Why, no!
Somerfield, hearing his name, came up to them. The Duchess, too, strolled over to the fire. The Prime Minister and Bransome returned with Maiyo towards the corner of the room where they had been sitting. "Prince," the Prime Minister said, "we have been talking about your speech at the Herrick Club last night." The Prince smiled a little gravely. "Did I say too much?" he asked.
"I think that I heard you say something about a discovery in connection with those wonderful murder cases," he said. "Has any one actually been arrested?" "My paper was an early edition," Bransome answered, "but it spoke of a sensational denouement within the next few hours. I should imagine that it is all over by now. At the same time it's absurd how the Press give these things away.
I sympathised with him, for I knew what a loss to his dignity it was to be beaten without cause before his fellows, and I feared that Mr. Bransome would indeed be sorry, sooner or later, for what he had done.
But I was too late to prevent what speedily followed my discovery. It had come about that the same mail-steamer that had brought out Mr. Bransome had again anchored off the Point, and again the weather was coarse and lowering.

Bransome for beating him so unjustly; and the news of the deed had travelled very quickly, as news does in savage countries, so that I think nearly all of Sooka's countrymen knew of the act and resented it. Mr.
"On the contrary, Prince," Lady Grace exclaimed, "you shall ride her, and I am going to back you for all I am worth." Bransome, who was also in riding clothes, although he was not taking part in the steeplechases himself, glanced at the clock. "You are running it rather fine," he said. "You'll scarcely have time to hack round the course." "Some one must explain it to me," the Prince said.
Bransome amused himself by getting out his rifle and firing fancy shots at Sooka, still tied to the post; that is, he tried to put the bullets as close to the poor wretch as he could without actually wounding him.
Every now and then, too, he would rub his hands together as if in eager expectation, and would chuckle to himself as he glanced seaward. Of his own accord he gave orders to Sooka to get both the surf-boats ready for launching, and to make the boys put on their newest loin-cloths; and then, when everything was in readiness, he asked Bransome if he was going off to the steamer.
