Bulstrode carried his candle to the bedside of Raffles, who was apparently in a painful dream.
"He is not gone, or going, apparently; the 'Pioneer' keeps its color, and Mr.
Horrock eyed the stranger, who was leaning back against his stick with one hand, using his toothpick with the other, and looking about him with a certain restlessness apparently under the silence imposed on him by circumstances.
