Wire-tapper, racing-tout, stool-pigeon, a cheater at cards, blackmailer and trafficker in baser things; in the next room, and he had let him go unharmed. Vermin. Pah! He was glad.

"It passeth understanding that grown women and strong men should get down in the dirt to dream-things and wonder tales." "I am a travelled man," La-lah answered. "I have journeyed on the deep seas and seen signs and wonders, and I know that these things be so. I am La-lah " "The Cheater " "So called, but the Far-Journeyer right-named."
