"Professor," Quest asked, "how long would it take us to get to this Mongar village you spoke about?" "Two or three days, if we can get camels," the other replied. "I see you agree with me, then, as to Craig's probable destination?" Quest nodded. "What sort of fellows are they, any way?" he asked. "Will it be safe for us to push on alone?"
When he steals another look at the elder Craig's face, he cannot see that there is anything like deep anger there, and yet John admits that he is not a good hand at analyzing motives.

I remember him when he was 'bout so high. Used to come down here an' I'd set him up on the counter right where you be now, Mr. Herring, and give him a stick of candy.
