Ghyrkins' bungalow was wholly unpremeditated, and I was sure Isaacs had spoken to none but our party not even to his saice since our meeting with the Westonhaughs on the Annandale road an hour and a half before. "I wonder what he wants," said my friend, apparently soliloquising. "He seems to know where to find you, at all events," I answered.
He expected that the Westonhaughs would have returned by this time, and he would doubtless go to them as soon as he had breakfasted. So we separated to dress and be shaved my beard was a week old at least and to make ourselves as comfortable as we deserved to be after our manifold exertions. We had been three days and a half from Keitung to Simla.
It isn't often I get out among ye. Shakee, nephew! Shakee, Hector! And now who's the boy in the window? My eyes aren't what they used to be, but he don't seem to favor the Westonhaughs over-much. One of Salmon's four grandchildren, think 'e? Or a shoot from Eustace's gnarled old trunk? His gals all married Americans, and one of them, I've been told, was a yellow-haired giant like this fellow."

"Perhaps," snarled the other. "I never saw but one of them. There are five, aren't there? Eustace believed in marrying off his gals young." "Damn him, yes! And he'd have married them off younger if he had known how numbers were going to count some day among the Westonhaughs."
The next day was Sunday, and I had a heap of unanswered letters to attend to, so we agreed to meet after tiffin and ride together before dining with Mr. Ghyrkins and the Westonhaughs.
"Perhaps," snarled the other. "I never saw but one of them. There are five, aren't there? Eustace believed in marrying off his gals young." "Damn him, yes. And he'd have married them off younger if he had known how numbers were going to count some day among the Westonhaughs."
