He won't have to speak, but it will make him happy, _I_'m going to run this business.' Biel held his tongue, and the other men waited to see what would happen.

'Now lend me fifty rupees,' said Strickland, 'and give me your Words of Honour that you won't tell my wife.' He got all that he asked for, and left the house while the table drank his health.

He came back at the end of three weeks, and said quietly, 'You spoke the truth, Biel. The whole business is put up from beginning to end. Jove! It almost astonishes _me_! That Bronckhorst beast isn't fit to live.' There was uproar and shouting, and Biel said, 'How are you going to prove it?
