"He's the only one she's ever lunched with, ALONE," said Alfred.
"She's been giddy, but at least she's always been chaperoned,
except with him. He's the one all right; there's no doubt about
it. He's the beginning of the end."
"His own end, yes," assented Jimmy half to himself. "Now, see
here, old man," he argued, "I'd give that poor devil a chance to
explain."
"Explain!" shouted Alfred so sharply that Jimmy quickly

"No," replied the ape-man. "My home is upon the west
coast. I will continue my journey in that direction."
She cast appealing eyes toward him. "You will go back into
that terrible jungle?" she asked. "We shall never see you
again?"
He looked at her a moment in silence. "Never," he said,
and without another word turned and walked away.
