And three pounds on the Jack Dimes. You should tear your money up, Humphreys. It would last you, logger. Perhaps you're right, Crane. Say I get a sense of honest talk. I say. Is anyone else betting?

I'm tired of losing. Oh, look, here old girl, could I loan you a few pounds? No, thank you, Crane. I have enough to get me back to London. If we ever do get back. Now, why do you say that, Clarence? It's only a matter of a stage getting through here to the resort.

a resort taking us out of this beastly place. Beastly Place is right. Why people come here for a rest is more than I can determine. Honestly, I've never spent such an uncomfortable week in all my life.

Well, think of me. I've been here three. So have you, Humphreys. Oh, look here, you two. It's three o'clock. And they're expecting the stage around eight tonight. What do you say the three of us go for a bit of a walk through the forest?

I say, why not? Here comes Danvers, perhaps he'll join us. Anything to get away from this place? Good afternoon, Danvers. Agreeding is good people. I take it you're no happier than when I left you a while ago.

The places as gloomy as a morgue. We've just agreed to take a walk in the forest back of the inn. You'll invite it to come along if you like. Sounds like a good enough way to pass the time.

Oh, good. We all go together. Besides, I'm quite interested in that forest out there. You remember, of course, the story the night clerk told us last evening. Yes, I don't like him. He talks through his nose.
