Came a clatter of hurrying feet, and into the low, perfumed room burst Dan Kerry, junior, tightly clasping the hand of a pale-faced, dishevelled woman in evening dress. It was Lady Rourke; and although she seemed to be in a nearly fainting condition, Dan dragged her, half running, into the room. Kerry gave one glance at the pair, then, instantly, he turned to face Zani Chada.
Then Mal made a bubbling sound, as from a bad dream. She waked. Then Zani roused and began to ask what was obviously a question, and stopped short. They spoke to each other in hushed voices in that unintelligible language of theirs. "I've got an idea," said Soames in a flat, unbelieving tone. "Let's see." Soames went forward and into the pilot's compartment. He came back with binoculars.
Yet that this had been a signal of some kind the Chief Inspector did not doubt, and: "You can't trick me," he said fiercely. "No one can leave this house without my knowledge, and because of what happened out there in the fog my hands are untied." He took up his hat and cane from the chair. "I'm going to search the premises," he declared. Zani Chada stood up slowly.
"All the main exits," was the reply. "But, as you say, it's a strange house, and Zani Chada has a stranger reputation." "Do nothing until you hear from me." "Very good, Chief Inspector." The rain now was definitely conquering the fog, and in half the time which had been occupied by the outward journey Kerry was back again in Limehouse police station.
Their repentance was accepted at Constantinople by the prudence, rather than clemency, of Justinian; and he commanded Dagisteus, with seven thousand Romans, and one thousand of the Zani, to expel the Persians from the coast of the Euxine. The siege of Petra, which the Roman general, with the aid of the Lazi, immediately undertook, is one of the most remarkable actions of the age.
If Zani writes, and looks at what she's written so he can read it through her eyes, her hand or her dress in what she sees could identify her. I'm telling you to remind Zani that communication by those sensory transmitters can be overheard. Sooner or later it will be. She must work out ways to avoid being identified. If they think more people of her race have landed, that's all right.
Thus there were some moments of tense silence during which the savage face of the Chief Inspector drew even closer to the gaunt, yellow face of the Eurasian. Finally: "Listen only for one moment," said Zani Chada. His voice had lost its guttural intonation. He spoke softly, sibilantly. "I, too, am a father " "Don't mince words!" shouted Kerry. "You've kidnapped my boy.
Perhaps also he unconsciously recognizes the sentiment ascribed to Mohammed, "Laysa bi-zanyatin ilia bi zani," "there is no adulteress without an adulterer," meaning that the husband has set the example. Polygamy is, of course, the order of the day; it is a necessity to the men, and even the women disdain to marry a "one-wifer."
They have to be braced by cables, which make catenary curves like suspension-bridges on end." Zani went on with her drawing. Gail said: "It isn't fantasy, then. Look at this. It's a maybe you'll call it a car. Only it looks like a sled. Or maybe a motorcycle." She showed him a finished sketch. With a childish directness, yet a singular effect of direct observation, Zani had drawn a vehicle.
"I reported to Washington of your willingness to work on the report, Mr. Soames," said Captain Moggs with gratification. "Your status has been clarified. The papers are on the way here now." Soames started a little. From where he stood, he could watch Mal and Hod out of a window, and by turning his eyes he could see Zani.
