Sir
Henry
,
who
had
been
sitting
quite
quiet
listening
to
our
talk
,
started
visibly
.
"
Excuse
me
,
sir
,
"
he
said
,
leaning
forward
across
the
table
,
and
speaking
in
a
low
deep
voice
,
a
very
suitable
voice
,
it
seemed
to
me
,
to
come
out
of
those
great
lungs
.
"
Excuse
me
,
sir
,
but
is
your
name
Allan
Quatermain
?
"
I
said
that
it
was
.
The
big
man
made
no
further
remark
,
but
I
heard
him
mutter
"
fortunate
"
into
his
beard
.
Presently
dinner
came
to
an
end
,
and
as
we
were
leaving
the
saloon
Sir
Henry
strolled
up
and
asked
me
if
I
would
come
into
his
cabin
to
smoke
a
pipe
.
I
accepted
,
and
he
led
the
way
to
the
Dunkeld
deck
cabin
,
and
a
very
good
cabin
it
is
.
It
had
been
two
cabins
,
but
when
Sir
Garnet
Wolseley
or
one
of
those
big
swells
went
down
the
coast
in
the
Dunkeld
,
they
knocked
away
the
partition
and
have
never
put
it
up
again
.
There
was
a
sofa
in
the
cabin
,
and
a
little
table
in
front
of
it
.
Sir
Henry
sent
the
steward
for
a
bottle
of
whisky
,
and
the
three
of
us
sat
down
and
lit
our
pipes
.
"
Mr.
Quatermain
,
"
said
Sir
Henry
Curtis
,
when
the
man
had
brought
the
whisky
and
lit
the
lamp
,
"
the
year
before
last
about
this
time
,
you
were
,
I
believe
,
at
a
place
called
Bamangwato
,
to
the
north
of
the
Transvaal
.
"
"
I
was
,
"
I
answered
,
rather
surprised
that
this
gentleman
should
be
so
well
acquainted
with
my
movements
,
which
were
not
,
so
far
as
I
was
aware
,
considered
of
general
interest
.
"
You
were
trading
there
,
were
you
not
?
"
put
in
Captain
Good
,
in
his
quick
way
.
"
I
was
.
I
took
up
a
wagon-load
of
goods
,
made
a
camp
outside
the
settlement
,
and
stopped
till
I
had
sold
them
.
"
Sir
Henry
was
sitting
opposite
to
me
in
a
Madeira
chair
,
his
arms
leaning
on
the
table
.
He
now
looked
up
,
fixing
his
large
grey
eyes
full
upon
my
face
.
There
was
a
curious
anxiety
in
them
,
I
thought
.
