but how came he to have so singular a companion? Ah, that is more than I can tell.
Robin CotterNARRATOR
Since, however, we had already determined that Small had come from the Andamans, it is not so very wonderful that this islander should be with him.

Larry WilsonNARRATOR
Any person with a normal brain who is accustomed to listen appreciatively to certain sounds, natural or artificial, must store his mind with the images of such sounds.
