"Yes, I came by the boat train, with Black Bess in a horse-box.
And now I'm going to abduct you, Eve. Your soul's not your own
when you're up against High Toby. I have a pistol in my holster,
a cloak on my back, and a price on my head. My enemies call me
Red Nat, me friends- "

I paused.

"What do your friends call you?"

"Adam," said I. "Let's see. You'll have to get out on the near
side, won't you? Wait a moment."

I plunged round the back of the car and opened the door.
Certainly it was terribly cold. While we had been talking, she
had been leaning against the side of the tilted car, with her
face close to the inch and a half of open window. Except for an
occasional flash, which had showed where her eyes were, I had not
seen her at all. Expectantly I raised the lamp and peered into
the limousine. Out of a huge fur rug a solitary eye regarded me
steadily.

"Only one eye?" I said. "How sad. How did it happen?"

The solitary eye went out, and then reappeared with a fellow.

"You remind me of the North Foreland," said I. "That's an
intermittent light, isn't it? Two winks and a blink every ten
seconds."
