  Speaker 1: Chapter twenty two, The search party. When dawn broke upon
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the little camp of Frenchmen in the heart of the jungle,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: it found a sad and disheartened group. As soon as
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: it was light enough to see their surroundings, Lieutenant Charpentier
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: sent men in groups of three in several directions to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: locate the trail, and in ten minutes it was found
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and the expedition was hurrying back toward the beach. It
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: was slow work, for they bore the bodies of six
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: dead men, two more having succumbed during the night, and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: several of those who were wounded required support to move
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: even very slowly. Charpentier had decided to return to camp
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: for reinforcements and then make an attempt to track down
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the natives and rescue d'arnault. It was late in the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: afternoon when the exhausted men reached the clearing by the beach,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: but for two of them the return brought so great
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a happiness that all their suffering and heartbreaking grief was
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: forgotten on the instant. As the little party emerged from
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the jungle, the first person that Professor Porter and Cecil
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Clayton saw was Jane standing by the cabin door. With
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a little cry of joy and relief, she ran forward
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to greet them, throwing her arms about her father's neck
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and bursting into tears for the first time since they
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: had been cast upon this hideous and adventurous shore. Professor
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Porter Strove manfully to suppress his own emotions, but the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: strain upon his nerves and weakened vitality were too much
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: for him, and at length, burying his old face in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the girl's shoulder, he sobbed quietly like a tired child.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Jane led him toward the cabin, and the frenchmen turned
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: toward the beach, from which several of their fellows were
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: advancing to meet them. Clayton, wishing to leave father and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: daughter alone, joined the sailors and remained talking with the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: officers until their boat pulled away toward the cruiser with
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: their lieutenant Sharpe and t a was bound to report
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the unhappy outcome of his adventure. Then Clayton turned back
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: slowly toward the cabin. His heart was filled with happiness.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: The woman he loved was safe. He wondered by what
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: manner of miracle she had been spared To see her
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: alive seemed almost unbelievable. As he approached the cabin, he
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: saw Jane coming out. When she saw him, she hurried
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: forward to meet him. Jane, he cried, God has been
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: good to us. Indeed, tell me how you escaped. What
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: form Providence took to save you for us. He had
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: never before called her by her given name. Forty eight
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: hours before. It would have suffused Jane with a soft
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: glow of pleasure to have heard that name from Clayton's lips.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Now it frightened her. Mister Clayton, she said, quietly, extending
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: her hand. First, let me thank you for your chivalrous
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: loyalty to my dear father. He has told me how
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: noble and self sacrificing you have been. How can we
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: repay you? Clayton noticed that she did not return his
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: familiar salutation, but he felt no misgivings on that score.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: She had been through so much. This was no time
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to force his love upon her. He quickly realized, I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: am already repaid, he said, Just to see you and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Professor Porter both safe, well and together again. I do
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: not think that I could much longer have endured the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: pathos of his quiet and uncomplaining grief. It was the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: saddest experience of my life, missus Porter, and then added
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to it, there was my own grief, the greatest I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: have ever known. But his was so hopeless, his was pitiful.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It taught me that no love, not even that of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a man for his wife, may be so deep and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: terrible and self sacrificing the love of a father for
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: his daughter. The girl bowed her head. There was a
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: question she wanted to ask, but it seemed almost sacrilegious
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in the face of the love of these two men
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and the terrible suffering they had endured while she sat
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: laughing and happy beside a godlike creature of the forest,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: eating delicious fruits, and looking with eyes of love into
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: answering eyes. But love is a strange master, and human
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: nature is still stranger. So she asked her question, where
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: is the forest man who went to rescue you? Why
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: did he not return? I do not understand, said Clayton.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Whom do you mean, he who has saved each of us,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: who saved me from the gorilla? Oh, cried Clayton, in surprise.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It was he who rescued you. You have not told
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: me anything of your adventure, you know, but the woodman
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: she urged, have you not seen him? When we heard
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the shots in the jungle, very faint and far away,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: he left me. We had just reached the clearing, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: he hurried off in the direction of the fighting. I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: know he went to aid you. Her tone was almost pleading,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: her manner tense with suppressed emotion. Clayton could not but
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: notice it, and he wondered vaguely why she was so
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: deeply moved, so anxious to know the whereabouts of this
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: strange creature. Yet a feeling of apprehension of some impending
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: sorrow haunted him, and in his breast, unknown to himself,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was implanted the first germ of jealousy and suspicion of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the ape man to whom he owed his life. We
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: did not see him, he replied quietly. He did not
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: join us, and then, after a moment of thoughtful pause,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: possibly he joined his own tribe, the men who attacked us.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: He did not know why he had said it, for
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: he did not believe it. The girl looked at him,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: wide eyed for a moment. No, she exclaimed, vehemently, much
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: too vehemently. He thought it could not be. They were savages.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Clayton looked puzzled. He is a strange, half savage creature
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of the jungle, Miss Porter, we know nothing of him.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: He neither speaks nor understands any European tongue, and his
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: ornaments and weapons are those of the West Coast savages.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Clayton was speaking rapidly. There are no other human beings
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: than savages within hundreds of miles, Miss Porter. He must
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: belong to the tribes which attacked us, or to some
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: other equally savage. He may even be a cannibal. Jane blanched.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I will not believe it, she half whispered. It is
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: not true. You shall see, she said, addressing Clayton, that
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: he will come back, and that he will prove that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you are wrong. You do not know him as I do.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I tell you that he is a gentleman. Clayton was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a generous and chivalrous man. But something in the girl's
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: breathless defense of the forest man stirred him to unreasoning jealousy,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: so that for the instant he forgot all that they
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: owed to this wild demigod. And he answered it with
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a half sneer upon his lip. Possibly you are right,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Miss Porter, he said, But I do not think that
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: any of us need worry about our carrion eating acquaintance.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: The chances are that he is some half demented castaway
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: who will forget us more quickly, but no more surely
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: than we shall forget him. He is only a beast
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of the jungle. Miss Porter. The girl did not answer,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: for she felt her heart shrivel within her. She knew
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the Clayton spoke merely what he thought, and for the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: first time she began to analyze the structure which supported
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: her new found love and to subject its object to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a critical examination. Slowly, she turned and walked back to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the cabin. She tried to imagine her wood God by
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: her side in the saloon of an ocean liner. She
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: saw him eating with his hands, tearing into his food
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like a beast of prey, and wiping his greasy fingers
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: upon his thighs. She shuddered. She saw him as she
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: introduced him to her friend's uncouth, illiterate a bore, and
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the girl winced. She had reached her room now, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: as she sat upon the edge of her bed of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: ferns and grasses, with one hand resting upon her rising
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and falling bosom, she felt the hard outlines of the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: man's locket. She drew it out, holding it in the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: palm of her hand for a moment, with tears blurred
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: eyes bent upon it. Then she raised it to her lips,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and crushing it there buried her face and the soft
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: ferns sobbing. Beast, she murmured, Then, God, make me a
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: beast for man or beast, I am yours. She did
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: not see Clayton again that day, as Miralda brought her
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: supper to her, and she sent word to her father
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that she was suffering from the reaction following her adventure.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: The next morning, Clayton left early with the relief expedition
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in search of Lieutenant d'arnault. There were two hundred armed men,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: this time with ten officers and two surgeons and provisions
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: for a week. They carried bedding and hammocks, the latter
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: for transporting their sick and wounded. It was a determined
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and angry company, a punitive expedition as well as one
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: of relief. They reached the side of the skirmish of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the previous expedition shortly after noon, for they were now
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: traveling a known trail and no time was lost. And
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: exploring From thereon the elephant track led straight to Mbonga's village.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: It was but two o'clock when the head of the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: column halted upon the edge of the clearing. Lieutenant Charpentier,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: who was in command, immediately set a portion of his
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: force through the jungle to the opposite side of the village.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Another detachment was dispatched to a point before the village gate,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: while he remained with a balance upon the south side
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: of the clearing. It was arranged that the party which
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: was to take its position to the north, and which
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: would be the last to gain its station, should commence
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the assault, and that their opening volley should be the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: signal for a concerted rush from all sides in an
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: attempt to carry the village by storm at the first charge.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: For half an hour, the men with Lieutenant Charpentier crouched
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: in the dense foliage of the jungle, waiting the signal
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to them. At scene like hour, they could see natives
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in the fields and others moving in and out of
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the village gate. At length the signal came a sharp
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: rattle of musketry, and like one man, an answering volley
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: tore from the jungle to the west and to the south.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: The natives in the field dropped their implements and broke
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: madly for the palisade. The French bullets mowed them down,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and the French sailors bounded over their prostrate bodies straight
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: for the village gate. So sudden and unexpected the assault
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: had been that the Whites reached the gates before the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: frightened natives could bar them, and in another minute the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: village street was filled with armed men fighting hand to
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: hand in inextricable tangle. For a few moments, the Blacks
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: held their ground within the entrance to the street, but
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the revolvers, rifles and cutlasses of the frenchmen crumpled the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: natives spearmen and struck down the Black archers with their
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: bows half drawn. Soon the battle turned to a wild route,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and then to a grim massacre, for the French sailors
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: had seen bits of Darnault's uniform upon several of the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: black warriors who opposed them. They spared the children and
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: those of the women, whom they were not forced to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: kill in self defense. But when at length they stopped,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: panting blood covered in sweating, it was because there lived
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to oppose them. No single warrior of all the savage
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: village of Mbonga. Carefully, they ransacked every hut in corner
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of the village, but no sign of Darnault could they find.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: They questioned the prisoners by signs, and finally one of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the sailors who had served in the French Congo, found
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that he could make them understand the bastard tongue that
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: passes for language between the whites and the more degraded
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: tribes of the coast. But even then they could learn
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: nothing definite regarding the fate of d'arnault. Only excited gestures
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and expressions of fear could thee obtain in response to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: their inquiries concerning their fellow. And last they became convinced
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: that these were but evidences of the guilt of these
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: demons who had slaughtered and eaten their comrade. Two nights before,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: at length all hope left them, and they prepared to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: camp for the night. Within the village. The prisoners were
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: herded into three huts where they were heavily guarded. Sentries
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: were posted at the barred gates, and finally the village
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: was wrapped in the silence of slumber, except for the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: wailing of the native women for their dead. The next
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: morning they set out upon the return march. Their original
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: intention had been to burn the village, but this idea
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: was abandoned, and the prisoners were left behind, weeping and moaning,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: but with roofs to cover them and a palisade for
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: refuge from the beasts of the jungle. Slowly the expedition
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: retraced its steps of the preceding day. Ten loaded hammocks
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: retarded its pace, and eight of them lay, the more
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: seriously wounded, while two swung beneath the weight of the dead.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Clayton and Lieutenant Charpentier brought up the rear of the column,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the Englishman silent in respect for the other's grief. For
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: d'arnault and Charpentier had been inseparable friends since boyhood. Clayton
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: could not but realize that the Frenchman felt his grief
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the more keenly because Darnault's sacrifice had been so futile,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: since Jane had been rescued before Darnault had fallen into
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the hands of the savages, and again because the service
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: in which he had lost his life had been outside
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: his duty and for strangers and aliens. But when he
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: spoke of it to Lieutenant Charpentier. The latter shook his head. No, Monsieur,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: he said, Darnault would have chosen to die. Thus, I
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: only grieved that I could not have died for him,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: or at least with him. I wish that you could
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: have known him better, Monsieur. He was indeed an officer
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and a gentleman, a title con ThReD all many, but
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: deserved by so few. He did not die futilely, for
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: his death and the cause of a strange American girl,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: would make us his comrades, face our ends the more bravely,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: however they may come to us. Clayton did not reply,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: but within him rose a new respect for Frenchmen, which
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: remained undimmed ever after. It was quite late when they
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: reached the capin by the beach. A single shot before
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: they emerged from the jungle had announced to those in
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: camp as well as on the ship, that the expedition
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: had been too late, For it had been pre arranged
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: that when they came within a mile or two of camp,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: one shot was to be fired to denote failure or
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: three four success, while two would have indicated that they
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: found no sign of either d'arnault or his black captors.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So it was a solemn party that awaited their coming,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and few words were spoken as the day and wounded
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: men were tenderly placed in boats and rode silently toward
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the cruiser. Clayton, exhausted from his five days of laborious
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: marching through the jungle and from the effects of his
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: two battles with the Blacks, turned toward the cabin to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: seek a mouthful of food and then the comparative ease
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: of his bed of grasses. After two nights in the jungle,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: by the cabin door stood Jane, the poor lieutenant. She asked,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: did you find no trace of him? We were too late,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: miss Porter, he replied, sadly. Tell me what had happened.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: She asked, I cannot, miss Porter, It is too horrible.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: You do not mean that they had tortured him, She whispered,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: We do not know what they did to him before
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: they kill him. He answered, his face drawn with fatigue
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and the sorrow he felt for poor d'arnault, and assized
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the word before before they killed him. What do you
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: mean they're not? They are not. She was thinking of
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: what Clayton had said of the forest man's probable relationship
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to this tribe, and she could not frame the awful word. Yes,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: miss Porter, they were cannibals, he said, almost bitterly, For
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: to him too had suddenly come the thought of the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: forest man, and the strange, unaccountable jealousy he had felt
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: two days before swept over him once more. And then,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: in sudden brutality that was as unlike Clayton, as courteous consideration,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: as unlike an ape, he blurted out, when your forest
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: God left you. He was doubtless hurrying to the feast.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: He was sorry ere the words were spoken, though he
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: did not know how cruelly they had cut the girl.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: His regret was for his baseless disloyalty to one who
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: had saved the life of every member of his party
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and offered harm to none. The girl's head went high.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: There could be what one suitable reply to your assertion,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: mister Clayton, she said icily, And I regret that I
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: am not a man that I might make it. She
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: turned quickly and entered the cabin. Clayton was an Englishman,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: so the girl had passed quite out of sight before
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: he deduced what reply a man would have made upon
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: my word, he said ruefully. She called me a liar,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and I fancy I jolly well deserved it, he added thoughtfully. Clayton,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: my boy, I know you were tired out and unstrung,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: but that's no reason why you should make an ass
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: of yourself. You'd better go to bed. But before he
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: did so, he called gently to Jane upon the opposite
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: side of the sailcloth partition, for he wished to apologize,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: but he might as well have addressed the sphinx. Then
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: he wrote upon a piece of paper and shoved it
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: beneath the partition. Jane saw the little note and ignored it,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: for she was very angry and hurt and mortified. But
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: she was a woman, and so eventually she picked it
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: up and read it. My dear miss Porter, I had
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: no reason to insinuate what I did. My only excuse
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: is that my nerves must be unstrung, which is no
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: excuse at all. Please try and think that I did
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: not say it. I am very sorry. I would not
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: have hurt you above all others in the world. Say
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: that you forgive me. William Cecil Clayton. He did think it,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: or he would never have said it, reasoned the girl
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: but it cannot be true. Oh, I know it is
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: not true. One sentence in the letter frightened her. I
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: would not have hurt you above all others in the world.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: A week ago, that sentence would have filled her with delight.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Now it depressed her. She wished she had never met Clayton.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: She was sorry that she had ever seen the forest. God, No,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: she was glad. And there was that other note she
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: had found in the grass before the cabin the day
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: after her return from the jungle, the love note signed
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: by Tarzan of the Apes. Who could be this new suitor?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: If he were another of the wild denizens of this
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: terrible forest? What might he not do to claim her?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: As Maraalda, wake up, she cried, You make me so irritable,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: sleeping there peacefully when you know perfectly well that the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: world is filled with sorrow. Go Moreau, screamed, as Maralda
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: sitting up. What is it now, a hippo ninoceros? Where
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: is he? Miss Jane? Nonsense has Maralda? There is nothing.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Go back to sleep. You have bad enough asleep, but
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: you are infinitely worse awake, Yes, Sonny, but what's the
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: matter with you? Precious? You acts sort of disgranulated this evening. Oh,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: is Marelda, I'm just plain ugly tonight, said the girl.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Don't pay any attention to me. That's a dear, yes, honey,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Now you go right to sleep. Your nerves are all
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: on edge, what with all these rippotamuses and man eating
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: geniuses that mister Falander had been telling about. Lord, I
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: ain't no wonder we all get nervous prosecution. Jane crossed
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the little room, laughing and kissing the faithful woman at
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: a is Marella, good night. End of chapter
