Æsop grunted: "Well, I knew you at once, if it comes to that, though the time was no shorter." Peyrolles smiled awkwardly. "You haven't changed," he observed. Æsop's eyes travelled with a careful and contemptuous scrutiny over the person of his old employer. "You have. You didn't wear quite such fine clothes when I saw you last, my friend.
I've run across him once or twice before. He's almost as bashful and retiring as you are." Hardy grunted. "If the captain isn't in London, where is he?" he inquired. The other shook his head.

Injun warrior no hide horse and go sleep both eye on war-path!"
Spencer grunted an expressive grunt and, creeping down the steps, entered the water again. It was Spencer's ambition to swim ten lengths of the bath. He was not a young Channel swimmer, and ten lengths represented a very respectable distance to him. He proceeded now to attempt to lower his record.
