They had ridden in silence, Lucy overwrought, thinking only of the wounded man hunted like a beast, perhaps dying in the Bush, Jim endeavouring to decide upon a plan of action. The news had not greatly surprised him; ever since Ryder's declaration of his identity Done had foreseen some such possibility. 'Do you know the reason of the attempt to arrest Ryder? said Jim, breaking the long silence.
Yet she thought they could hardly infringe on Victor Hugo; perhaps the best title was the simplest "The History of the Empire Trading Company." Everyone would understand that it told the story of John Burkett Ryder's remarkable career from his earliest beginnings to the present time.
Ryder's thoughts were of the morrow, of that forbidden entry he was planning to make, of the risks, the wild uncertainties.... Wisdom and counsel looked significantly out at him out of those patriarchal eyes. Prudence and sanity clamored within him for a hearing. And then he smiled, the whimsical, boyish smile of young adventuring.
Then in hasty Turkish the general gave his directions and the black nodded and strode to a portière, jerking it down, which he wrapped about Ryder's helpless form. Then he hoisted his burden over his huge shoulder and bore it on after the general. Across the great room they went and down the long stairs up which that day a most complacent Hamdi Bey had escorted his just-glimpsed bride.

The boy followed the instructions he had received faithfully, and was with the outlaw again before sundown, watching over him with an interest he had never before felt in any human creature.
"Really," he added, "you're an extraordinary girl. Why, you can't be more than twenty or so." "I'm twenty-four or so," smiled Shirley. Ryder's face expanded in a broad smile. He admired this girl's pluck and ready wit. He grew more amiable and tried to gain her confidence. In a coaxing tone he said: "Come, where did you get those details? Take me into your confidence."

But the hideous, mocking uncertainties! Her utter helplessness her lost deference....
