About ten o’clock
John was anxious not to show himself , so he went at once to the inn , directing Vijal to keep a look-out for Brandon and let him know if he saw any one who looked like him . These directions were accompanied and intermingled with numerous threats as to what he would do if Vijal dared to fail in any particular . The Malay listened calmly , showing none of that impatience and haughty resentment which he formerly used to manifest toward John , and quietly promised to do what was ordered . About ten o'clock John happened to look on of the window . He saw a figure standing where the light from the windows flashed out , which at once attracted his attention . It was the man whom he sought -- it was Brandon . Was he stopping at the same inn ?
