He did it unwillingly3, although he did not ignore that what was going to happen in there was now absolutely beyond his control. He roamed irresolutely4 about for awhile, and at last wandered with careless steps towards the fire, which had been moved, from under the tree, close to the hut and a little to windward of its entrance.

Sitting there he could hear the murmur9 of the talk inside the hut, and he could distinguish the voices but not the words. Abdulla spoke10 in deep tones, and now and then this flowing monotone was interrupted by a querulous exclamation11, a weak moan or a plaintive12 quaver of the old man. Yes.
