Annotated text:
What should such a man need with such a
companion, I asked myself. And then I thought
of Jims uncle, Darius Brockley, and of the
flimsy excuse the Vicars niece had given when
she returned. Yes, I began to understand. And I
was not sorry to dissociate the last of the gold
from the silver, and wait upon events. I
stretched out my hand and touched a dime
shape on the chair beside me ; a sleek cat that
horribly exulted at the touch of my fingers. We
were told that the human heart was deceitful
and desperately wicked ; what then should be
said of the human mind? Why, I meant, should
I have remembered the tale of the
Major-General in Trafalgar Square on Guy
Fawkes night, and how the dead man had told
it me, just an hour before...they came to take
him away? And then how about myself?
Admittedly I was a warrior, but even I, surely,
could be a warrior without being a bounder.
