"Got right into the tent," he went on, speaking passionately but very low, "and woke my wife by scrambling all over her. Then she realised that Joan was struggling beside her. And, by God! the beast had torn her arm; scratched all down the arm she was, and bleeding." GOT RIGHT INTO THE TENT HE WENT ON SPEAKING PASSIONATELY BUT VERY LOW AND WOKE MY WIFE BY SCRAMBLING ALL OVER HER THEN SHE REALIZED THAT JOAN WAS STRUGGLING BESIDE HER AND BY GOD THE BEAST HAD TORN HER ARM SCRATCHED ALL DOWN THE ARMS SHE WAS AND BLEEDING
 our little party struck me and I discovered that Joan had not yet put in an appearance. And then, in a flash, the last heaviness of sleep vanished and I saw that Maloney was white and troubled and his wife could not hold a plate without trembling. A desire to ask questions was stopped in me by a swift glance from Dr. Silence, and I suddenly understood in some vague way that they were waiting till Sangree should have gone. How this idea came to me I cannot determine, but the soundness of the intuition was soon proved, for the moment he moved off to his tent, Maloney looked up at me and began to speak in a low voice. "You slept through it all," he half whispered. "Through what?" I asked, suddenly thrilled with the knowledge that something dreadful had happened. "We didn't wake you for fear of getting the whole Camp up," he went on, meaning, by the Camp, I supposed, Sangree. "It was just before dawn when the screams woke me." "The dog again?" I asked, with a curious sinking of the heart.  BREAKFAST THAT THE SILENCE OF OUR LITTLE PARTY STRUCK ME AND I DISCOVERED THAT JOAN HAD NOT YET PUT IN AN APPEARANCE AND THEN IN A FLASH THE LAST HEAVINESS OF SLEEP VANISHED AND I SAW THAT MALONEY WAS WHITE AND TROUBLED AND HIS WIFE COULD NOT HOLD A PLATE WITHOUT TREMBLING A DESIRE TO ASK QUESTIONS WAS STOPPED IN ME BY A SWIFT GLANCE FROM DOCTOR SILENCE AND I SUDDENLY UNDERSTOOD IN SOME VAGUE WAY THAT THEY WERE WAITING TILL SANGREE SHOULD HAVE GONE HOW THIS IDEA CAME TO ME I CANNOT DETERMINE BUT THE SOUNDNESS OF THE INTUITION WAS SOON PROVED FOR THE MOMENT HE MOVED OFF TO HIS TENT MALONEY LOOKED UP AT ME AND BEGAN TO SPEAK IN A LOW VOICE YOU SLEPT THROUGH IT ALL HE HALF WHISPERED THROUGH WHAT I ASKED SUDDENLY THRILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT SOMETHING DREADFUL HAD HAPPENED WE DIDN'T WAKE YOU FOR FEAR OF GETTING THE WHOLE CAMP UP HE WENT ON MEANING BY THE CAMP I SUPPOSE TO SANGREE IT WAS JUST BEFORE DAWN WHEN THE SCREAMS WOKE ME THE DOG AGAIN I ASKED WITH A CURIOUS SINKING OF THE HEART
