Chapter IV
A SESSION OF CHAT The whisper grew distinct in words. "Peters, you old numskull, come here!" The approach of Peters was something like the sidewise waddle of a very aged crab. He looked to the north, but his feet carried him to the east. That he was much moved was attested by the colour which had mounted even to the gleaming expanse of that nobly bald head.
