Surely that sinister-looking person should be forced to give an account of himself instead of, as was probable, being allowed to instill further nonsense into the suspicious mind of P.C. Robinson. There were two morning deliveries of London letters in Steynholme, one at eight and another at half past ten. Then, in a fever of impatience, he jammed on a hat and went out. He would wait no longer.
On the south- eastern flank of Chisalla is a dwarf precipice called Mbondo la Zumba and, according to the interpreters, it is the Lovers' Leap of Tuckey. But its office must not be confounded with that attributed to the sinister-looking scaur of Leucadia; here the erring wives of the Kings of Boma and their paramours found a Bosphorus.
"Never mind, my lad," whispered the latter. "More chances than one." "Now then! No whispering. Come along!" shouted the sinister-looking man, fiercely. "Come on down. Bring 'em along."

A young man stood at the entrance a stocky, bull-necked young miner, in tweed Sunday clothes and an aggressive neck-tie.
