He began to tell her some of his past exploits: the Amazon, the Orinoco, the Andes, Tibet and China; of the strange flotsam and jetsam he had met in his travels. But she sensed only the sound of his voice and the desire to reach out her hand and touch his. Friendship! Bread in the wilderness! Ahmed was lean and deceptive to the eye.
When, by rights of flotsam and jetsam and gift and trover, she became the proud possessor of her little yellow boat, the day rarely passed without her flitting across to spend part of it at Beaumanoir or Belfontaine, unless the weather bottled her up on Brecqhou.
They stopped at an old weather-beaten house that had in its low windows all sorts of curious things models of ships and boats, odd bits of pottery, rude carvings, old brasses and mirrors, the flotsam and jetsam from broken homes and broken lives that had drifted into this little eddy. The proprietor, a bent and grizzled old man, who stood smoking at the door, noticed the young strangers.
The knife to which the Inspector referred possessed a long curved blade of a kind with which I had become terribly familiar in the past.

Not only was he an interesting talker; but there was an element of mystery about him which appealed to the girl's sense of romance. She knew that he was a gentleman born and reared, and she often found herself wondering what tragic train of circumstances had set him adrift among the flotsam of humanity's wreckage.

The sun rose upon a squalid scene a wide flat area where stakes and floors and frames mingled with all the flotsam and jetsam left by a hurried and profligate populace, moving on to another camp. Daylight found no man there nor any living creature.
It's on condition you sign on under an assumed name. I've a position here. If it was known you understand. I'm the chief engineer and it might cause trouble.
