Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from To Call Her Mine Etc ´I will now,´ said the German, ´read your statement over, and you can sign it if you like. Remember, however, what your signature may mean. As for what I shall do with it afterwards, that depends on many things.´ ´Do what you like with it,´ replied the Englishman, slowly and huskily. ´Send it to the police in London, if you like. I don´t care what becomes of it, or of myself either. For I am tired of it; I give in. There! I give in. No one knows what it is like until you actually come to fight with it.´ He did not explain what ´it´ was; but the other seemed to understand what he meant, and nodded his head gravely, though coldly. ´It´, spoken of in this way, is generally some foe to man. If toothache, or earache, or any ordinary physical evil had been meant, that German, or any other German, Frenchman, Russian, or Englishman, would have nodded his head with a sympathetic murmur. Since there was no murmur, therefore there was no sympathy. The two men were, as you will presently admit, a most curious couple to look upon, set among most remarkable surroundings, if only there had been any spectators or audience to watch and admire them. The scene - none of your conventional carpenter´s scenes, but a grand set scene - was, if possible, more interesting than the couple in the foreground. For in front there stretched the seashore, the little waves lapping softly and creeping slowly over the level white coral sand; beyond the smooth water lay the coral reef with its breakers; at the back of the sandy shore was a gentle rise of land, covered with groves of cocoa-palms and bananas; among them were clearings planted with fields of sweet potatoes and taro; two or three huts were visible beneath the trees.
