We shall have time for a talk in the morning. What?" He stooped to catch a half-audible sentence. "You'll never forget it," gasped Rupert. "Yes, I shall if you will let me. It rests with you. I never wish to speak or think of it again. I have plenty of other things to think about, and so have you. That's settled, then. I am going to see if I can find you something to eat." He stood up.
His two followers, on sentry among the bushes, who had not lost a word of the brief dialogue, turned their heads and glared savagely at the man who dared to accuse their leader of cowardice. One of them muttered a half-audible oath, and was about to spring to his feet, but a gesture from the Mochuelo checked him.
"I haven't very much time," he said at last. "I've got to catch the seven-forty." "You haven't. We don't want you to go like this. Now you're here you must stay a fortnight at the very least." He hung his head. He did not want her to see how immense was the temptation. He murmured some half-audible, agitated thanks, but his refusal was made quite plain.

She patted his face softly, as it rested on her shoulder; but he made no reply save by an absent, half-audible whistle. "You don't answer me, John, dear!"
