I paused, with my eyes upon Master d'Arfet's hands, which were hooked now like claws over the table which his fingers still pressed: and this gesture of his put a sudden abominable thought in my mind. "Yes, he wishes to buy his wife's grave. Ask him " I cried, and with that I broke off. But Gonsalvez nodded. "I know," said he softly, and turned to the Englishman.
On all manner of trifles he would invite Master d'Arfet's opinion: but to show any curiosity or to allow his guests to satisfy any, did not belong to his part of host a part he played with a thoroughness which diverted me while it drove the Englishman well-nigh mad. At once Zarco became grave. "My dear Bartholomew," said he, "you did right, of course, to bring Master d'Arfet to me.
Upon some small act of kindness such as one slave may do for another, the two had made friends: and thus Morales came to hear the poor Englishman's story." Here I broke off and nodded to the Count, who called for a lamp. And so for a few minutes we all sat without speech in the twilight, the room silent save for the cracking of Master d'Arfet's knuckles.
