Chapter V
Not one of us uttered a sound till the mate, after imbibing--by means of suction out of a saucer--his second cup of tea, exclaimed: “Where the devil is the man gone to?” “Courting!” I shouted, with such a fiendish laugh that the old chap didn’t venture to open his lips any more. I started to the office perfectly calm. Calm with excessive rage.
