recall his exact words, but their intention was binding. He
conveyed his absolute acquiescence with Benham's wishes whatever
they were. His life for that moment was unreservedly at his
friend's disposal. . . .
White never knew if his promise was heard. Benham had stopped
speaking quite abruptly with that "What?"
He stared in front of him with a doubtful expression, like a man who
is going to be sick, and then, in an instant, every muscle seemed to
give way, he shuddered, his head flopped, and White held a dead man
in his arms.
