In a few minutes Isaacs came from his tent, which he must have entered from the other side.

He was perfectly at his ease, and at once began talking about the disagreeable journey he had before him.

Then, after a time, we broke up, and he said good-bye to every one in turn, and Ghyrkins told John to call his sister, if she were still visible, for "Mr.Isaacs wanted to say good-bye." So she came and took his hand, and made a simple speech about "meeting again before long," as she stood with her uncle; and my friend and I went away to our tent.
We sat long in the _connat_.

Isaacs did not seem to want rest, and I certainly did not.

For the first half hour he was engaged in giving directions to the faithful Narain, who moved about noiselessly among the portmanteaus and gun-cases and boots which strewed the floor.
