"News out of Egypt! " said the Honourable Just Trafford. "If this is / true, it gives a pretty finish to the season. You think it possible, / Pierre? It is every man's talk that there isn't a herd of buffaloes in / the whole country; but this-eh?"
Pierre did not seem disposed to answer. He had been watching a man's / face for some time; but his eyes were now idly following the smoke of his / cigarette as it floated away to the ceiling in fading circles. He seemed / to take no interest in Trafford's remarks, nor in the tale that Shangi / the Indian had told them; though Shangi and his tale were both / sufficiently uncommon to justify attention.
