The steady coolness and assurance with which these words were uttered, although the voice was the very voice he had heard at the old convent, and although the features more nearly resembled those of Catharine when seen close than when viewed from a distance, produced, nevertheless, such a confusion in Roland's mind, that he became uncertain whether he was not still under a mistake from the beginning; the knowing shrewdness which should have animated his visage faded into a sheepish bashfulness, and the half-suppressed but most intelligible smile, became the senseless giggle of one who laughs to cover his own disorder of ideas.

"Unconscious?" asked the Hawk, surprised. "You fought, and they knocked you out?" The big negro looked sheepish and scratched his woolly head. "Well, no suh," he explained. "I was aimin' to butt in some, but they wouldn't let me." "Then how did you get unconscious?" Friday fidgeted. He was acutely embarrassed.
