"Dangerous?" echoed the negro, looking round. "Why should they be dangerous?"
Jarman repeated the warning of Mrs. Burl and the boast of Balkis. But Tamaroo merely laughed. "There is no danger," he said decisively. "I am quite sure that. Balkis will do nothing to harm us."
"She does not seem to be very well disposed towards Frank."
"Because she will insist that I killed Starth," said Frank. "No doubt Berry has been poisoning her mind. However, Berry will not look for me here."
"Darrel might," hinted Eustace, uneasily.
"Nonsense! How can he find this place?"
"Oh, he knows it! My belief that he had the negro blood in his veins is true. He is a relative of Balkis, and sometimes comes here; but he is not proud of the relationship."
"But even if he does know this place he'll never think that I am here."
Eustace looked doubtful. "I had to pitch him out of the garden of Rose Cottage," he said. "He was impertinent to Mildred."
"To Mildred?" repeated Frank, with an angry flush.
