(B) A man came — the inn and said he wanted a drink; but as I moved — the room to the bar to get it he sat — — a table and asked me to come nearer.

"I just came to see my friend Bill. Is this table — him?"

I told him I did not know his friend Bill and this table was — a person who was staying — our house whom we called the captain.

"Well," he said, "my friend Bill likes people to call him captain. Is he — the house?"

I told him the captain was —.

"I expected to find him —. Which way has he gone?"

— some time the stranger sat there waiting — the captain like a cat waiting — a mouse. Then we heard the door open and the captain entered the house.

"Let's step — that door and give Bill a little surprise," said the stranger pulling me — the hand and pushing me — the door. "Bill," said the stranger — a low voice when the captain came — the room. The captain turned — , saw the stranger and stopped — saying a word, looking — the man's hard, cold eyes. I wanted to cry — — help or get — — the room quickly.
