It was only afterwards I realised that we were invisible to him where we stood against the dark background of trees; the figures of Joan and the animal he saw plainly, but not Dr. Silence and myself standing just beyond them. He stood up in the canoe and pointed with his right arm. I saw something gleam in his hand. IT WAS ONLY AFTERWARDS I REALIZED THAT WE WERE INVISIBLE TO HIM AS WE STOOD AGAINST THE DARK BACKGROUND OF TREES THE FIGURES OF JOAN AND THE ANIMAL HE SAW PLAINLY BUT NOT DOCTOR SILENCE AND MYSELF STANDING JUST BEYOND THEM HE STOOD UP IN THE CANOE AND POINTED WITH HIS RIGHT ARM I SAW SOMETHING GLEAM IN HIS HAND
ts they love?" I asked finally. John Silence smiled his inscrutable smile. "Profoundly," he answered, "and as simply as only primitive souls can love. If only they both come to realise it in their normal waking states his Double will cease these nocturnal excursions. He will be cured, and at rest." The words had hardly left his lips when there was a sound of rustling branches on our left, and the very next instant the dense brushwood parted where it was darkest and out rushed the swift form of an animal at full gallop. The noise of feet was scarcely audible, but in that utter stillness I heard the heavy panting breath and caught the swish of the low bushes against its sides. It went straight towards Joan—and as it went the girl lifted her head and turned to meet it. And the same instant a canoe that had been creeping silently and unobserved round the inner shore of the lagoon, emerged from the shadows and defined itself upon the water with a figure at the middle thwart. It was Maloney. N THEIR HEART OF HEARTS THEY LOVE I ASKED FINALLY JOHN SILENCE SMILED HIS INSCRUTABLE SMILE PROFOUNDLY HE ANSWERED AND AS SIMPLY AS ONLY PRIMITIVE SOULS CAN LOVE IF ONLY THEY BOTH COME TO REALIZE IT IN THEIR NORMAL WAKING STATES HIS DOUBLE WILL CEASE THESE NOCTURNAL EXCURSIONS HE WILL BE CURED AND AT REST THE WORDS HAD HARDLY LEFT HIS LIPS WHEN THERE WAS A SOUND OF RUSTLING BRANCHES ON OUR LEFT AND THE VERY NEXT INSTANT THE DENSE BRUSHWOOD PARTED WHERE IT WAS DARKEST AND OUT RUSHED THE SWIFT FORM OF AN ANIMAL AT FULL GALLOP THE NOISE OF FEET WAS SCARCELY AUDIBLE BUT IN THAT UTTER STILLNESS I HEARD THE HEAVY PANTING BREATH AND CAUGHT THE SWISH OF THE LOW BRUSHES AGAINST ITS SIDES IT WENT STRAIGHT TOWARDS JOAN AND AS IT WENT THE GIRL LIFTED HER HEAD AND TURNED TO MEET IT AND THE SAME INSTANT A CANOE THAT HAD BEEN CREEPING SILENTLY AND UNOBSERVED ROUND THE INNER SHORE OF THE LAGOON EMERGED FROM THE SHADOWS AND DEFINED ITSELF UPON THE WATER WITH A FIGURE AT THE MIDDLE THWART IT WAS MALONEY
