Madame Marve, Letitia, Matty Cann, Nickie, and even the educated pig sat in council to consider ways and means of averting the pending catastrophe, and Nickie bore the fierce rebukes showered upon him with proper humbleness. Never was seen a more depressed and humiliated missing link.
He was not content to smite he kicked. He kicked hard and often. His fury increased with the measures he took to wreak it. "Jim! Jim!" pleaded Madame Marve, "you'll ruin the skin." The Missing Link's skin was an expensive item, but the Professor forgot his cupidity in vindicating himself as an outraged husband.
"Heeley!" gasped Madame Marve, "the man that shot Hollander, the man that's been sticking up the banks?" Heeley's brow darkened. "Precisely, missus," he said; "the man the Gov' mint offers £250 quid for, cash on delivery." He turned again to Professor Thunder. "I noticed you was doin' pretty good at Big Timber, mate," he said, "and I thought I'd follow on and pick up a little loose change.
"You will find the Missing Link in a low state, but Madame Marve has done all that surgical skill could do. The murderous attacks of the gorilla scalped the poor creature, and tore the skin from his body, but the wounds have been stitched up there is still hope. This way, gentle men, and quietly, if you please."
He uttered a roar that would not have discredited the Missing Link in its native jungle in the wilds of Darkest Africa. "You infernal blackguard!" he yelled. "Now, Jim," cried Madame Marve in sudden alarm, standing between the men with her paste pin. "Out of my way, woman!" cried the Professor, tossing her aside. Professor Thunder fell upon Nicholas Crips, and smote him hip and thigh.
A crowd had now collected, and when Madame Marve dragged her husband into the tent all attention was turned upon Nickie, who cowered against the tree, his mind busy on a way out of the peculiarly unpleasant situation. Thunder was still storming inside, and presently he reappeared, and hurled an armful of shirts, boots, trousers and other human habiliments into the air.
They dressed Nickie and took him up to the house and fed him, and then drove him back to Bullfrog in their spring cart, delivering him into the hands of Madame Marve, who manifested great joy on receiving back the unparalleled Missing Link in fairly good condition.
Madame Marve had a light heart and a plump waist, She did not take Nickie's advances very seriously, but she found a certain piquancy in the situation, and was not above a reciprocal sigh or a responsive hand pressure.
Probably no Missing Link since the day when man began to emerge from the monkey had ever been so sorely afflicted with the craving for alcoholic stimulants. Mahdi had a fixed allowance his beer supply was rigorously prescribed by Professor Thunder, and precisely measured by Madame Marve. It was this precision that prevented Nickie being quite content with an artistic career.
