So, with frying pan, provisions, and blankets aboard, Sangree and I sailed out of the lagoon fifteen minutes later, and headed with a good breeze for the direction of Waxholm and the borders of civilisation. HE AGREED TO MY PLAN WITHOUT A MOMENT'S HESITATION AND MY LAST WORDS TO HIM WERE TO LET HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER THINK THAT THE GREAT PSYCHIC DOCTOR WAS COMING MERELY AS A CHANCE VISITOR AND NOT WITH ANY PROFESSIONAL INTEREST SO WITH PRYING PAN PROVISIONS AND BLANKETS ABOARD SANGREE AND I SAILED OUT OF THE LAGOON FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER AND HEADED WITH A GOOD BREEZE FOR THE DIRECTION OF WAXHOLM AND THE BORDERS OF CIVILIZATION

I told him briefly what I had seen, and he showed so little surprise that I caught myself wondering for the first time whether he himself had seen more going on than he had deemed wise to communicate to the rest of us.
