Perched sideways on the circular wall bordering the well, in the full blaze of the midday sun, the rover of the distant seas and the fisherman of the lagoon¹, sharing between them a most surprising secret, had the air of two men conferring in the dark. The first word that Peyrol said was, “Well?”

“All quiet,” said the other.

“Have you fastened the cabin door properly?”

“You know what the fastenings are like.”

Peyrol could not deny that. It was a sufficient answer. It shifted the responsibility on to his shoulders and all his life he had been accustomed to trust to the work of his own hands, in peace and in war. Yet he looked doubtfully at Michel before he remarked:

“Yes, but I know the man too.”

There could be no greater contrast than those two faces: Peyrol's clean, like a carving² of stone, and only very little softened³ by time, and that of the owner of the late dog, hirsute⁴, with many silver threads, with something elusive⁵ in the features and the vagueness of expression of a baby in arms. “Yes, I know the man,” repeated Peyrol. Michel's mouth fell open at this, a small oval set a little crookedly⁶ in the innocent face.

“He will never wake,” he suggested timidly.

The possession of a common and momentous⁷ secret drawing men together, Peyrol condescended⁸ to explain.

“You don't know the thickness of his skull⁹. I do.”
