"What! Then the two islands communicate?"
"Yes, by the cliff underneath the bridge."
"How strange! That's what neither Stéphane not I guessed, nor anybody else, for that matter . . . except our dear All's Well, when it came to finding his master."
He interrupted himself and then whispered:
"Hark!"
But, the next moment, he said:
"No, it's not that yet. Still, we must hurry."
