Right down to the minute when Grim, Jeremy and I sat down with Ben Saoud the Avenger on a stricken field at Abu Kem, and Grim and Jeremy played their hands so cleverly that the Avenger was made, unwitting guardian of Jeremy's secret gold-mine, and Feisul's open and sworn supporter in the bargain, the heart of Grim's purpose continued to be a mystery even to me; and I have been as intimate with him as any man.
"Some of it." "Think you can remember enough of it to deceive Arabs who never knew any at all?" "Narayan Singh was flattering me about it the other day." "I know he was," said Grim. "It was his suggestion we should take you with us." That illustrates perfectly Grim's way of letting out information in driblets. Evidently he had considered taking me on this trip as long as three days ago.
We'll sweep them out into space by the time we're through." Hilary and Joan were free now. Very painfully they rose to their feet, stamping and pounding their arms to make the sluggish blood circulate again. Wat hopped about in his excitement. "Here, you little runt," Grim's voice boomed at him, "stop jumping around, and tie up this Mercutian. We have no time to waste." Wat groaned comically.
Sun sun everything they have depends upon the sun. Take away the sun, and what have they? Nothing but their hideous giant bodies they are weaponless. Now do you see?" He fairly shouted at him. Grim's face lit up heavily; Wat was dancing insanely. "Get hold of the machine, reverse the process. Make it form clouds, great big woolly ones.
He had established the fact that the French secret agent was already on the track of the letter, and that in turn explained why he had not seized Yussuf Dakmar and put him in jail. It was better to use the man, as the sequel proved. And Yussuf Dakmar walked straight into Grim's trap. "What is your name?" he demanded. "Call me Omar," said Grim. "A Turk, are you?
"I don't want to be caught here; and as for those papers you have taken, if we are caught I shall say you stole them from the office you and Yussuf Dakmar, and that I followed you to recover them, and you both attacked me!" "Very well," said Grim's voice pleasantly. "I'll let you go. I think you're dangerous. You'd better be quick, because I think I hear the guard coming!"
'Let us sail at once, added she, 'for who knows when Godrich the traitor may change his mind? And bid the sons of Grim sail with us. Goldborough's counsel seemed good to Havelok, and he rose in haste and sought Grim's sons, whom he found setting forth to fish.
"You mean your government has seen the thing, and sent you to confront me with it?" It was Grim's turn to laugh, and he was jubilant without a trace of bitterness. "No. The chief and I have risked our jobs by not reporting it. This visit is strictly unofficial." Feisul handed the letter back to him, and it was Grim who struck a match and burned it, after tearing off the seal for a memento.
He recognized Grim's voice and emerged through the front door with a milk-white smile flashing in the midst of newly-curled black hair dignified, immense, and full of instant understanding.
I was right in the midst of the mess, with a camel on either side trying to get its teeth into me, and what with Grim's shouting to get the tangle straightened, and our all trying to obey at once, it was some minutes before I got the hang of things. In fact, I think I understood last.
