"'Englishman, he says." "That's very likely," pronounced a new voice. They held a hurried consultation up there, of which I caught only detached sentences, and the general tone of concern.
"I don't want to run you in, but I will if you don't get out of here and shut that door. Or you might go down and call the cop on this block. He'll run you in for breaking Code 2762 of the Penal Law! Trespass and flotsam that's what it is!" Uneasy, frightened, then horrified, Mrs. Zapp swung bulkily about and slammed the door. Sick, guilty, banished from home though he felt, Mr.
Disenchantment lay in wait for him who strayed close enough to hear the wrangling in the cook-tent, however, or who followed Slim to where he slumped bulkily down into the shade of a willow fifty yards or so from camp a willow where Pink, Weary, Andy Green and Irish were lying sprawled and smoking comfortably. Slim grunted and moved away from a grass-hidden rock that was gouging him in the back.
