"Mr. Wang! You've escaped, then. All right! I'll come to the door."
On the way he went into his father's room, and touched him on the elbow.
"Hey! Who's that? What's the matter, Jack?"
"Wang Shih is outside, Father."
"By Jove! What does he want?"
"I don't know. He has evidently escaped."
"Send him about his business. I can't be mixed up in this sort of thing."
"You might see him, Father. He wouldn't have come unless he saw some way of getting off without harming anyone."
"Well, well! Light the lamp, and let him in. I'll slip on my dressing-gown and follow you."
Jack went to the door, opened it, and was confronted, not by one big form, as he expected, but by two.
