"Get up! Can't you hear?"
The captain lifted his head, and looked at Tiapa with dim, bloodshot eyes.
"We must give notice to the police! so get up."
"What's the matter?" asked the captain in an angry, drowsy voice.
"Why, he's dead."
"Who's dead?"
"Why, the learned man."
"Philippe? Ah, yes, so he is!"
"And you had already forgotten!" hissed Tiapa reproachfully.
The captain rose to his feet, yawned loudly, and stretched himself till his bones cracked.
