"You're sure it's you who have been thwarting all my plans these last few days?"

"The last twenty-four hours, no longer. I arrived at Sarek twenty-four hours ago."

"And you're determined to go on to the end?"

"Yes; and farther still, if possible."

"Why? And in what capacity?"

"As a sportsman; and because you fill me with disgust."

"So there's no arrangement to be made?"

"No."

"Would you refuse to go shares with me?"

"Ah, now you're talking!"
