More rarely Walker would stroll over to the Residency, but he soon came to notice that Hatteras had a distinct preference for the factory and for the factory verandah. The reason for the preference puzzled Walker considerably. He drew a quite erroneous conclusion that Hatteras was hiding at the Residency--well, some one whom it was prudent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially in an official, to conceal. He abandoned the conclusion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when he discovered that his friend was in the habit of making solitary expeditions. At times Hatteras would be absent for a couple of days, at times for a week, and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so far as Walker could ascertain, he never so much as took a servant with him to keep him company. He would simply announce at night his intended departure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and in the morning he would be gone. Nor on his return did he ever offer to Walker any explanation of his journeys. On one occasion, however,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Walker broached the subject. Hatteras had come back the night before,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he sat crouched up in a deck chair,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], looking intently into the darkness of the forest.
"I say,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," asked Walker, "isn't it rather dangerous to go slumming about West Africa alone?"
Hatteras did not reply for a moment. He seemed not to have heard the suggestion, and when he did speak it was to ask a quite irrelevant question.
"Have you ever seen the Horse Guards' Parade on a dark, rainy night?" he asked; but he never moved his head,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he never took his eyes from the forest. "The wet level of ground looks just like a lagoon and the arches a Venice palace above it."
"But look here, Dick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!" said Walker,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], keeping to his subject. "You never leave word when you are coming back. One never knows that you have come back until you show yourself the morning after."
"I think,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Hatteras slowly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "that the finest sight in the world is to be seen from the bridge in St. James's Park when there's a State ball on at Buckingham Palace and the light from the windows reddens the lake and the carriages glance about the Mall like fireflies."
