others wondered, like Scapin, what he was
doing in our boat. Karl, who was distinctly
fatigued, did that which | had never seen
him do before-he drank some wine. He
seemed to be willing enough to talk freely,
but held in leash by the presence of so many
strangers Hooper, | knew, was consumed
with impatience. but he preserved the out
