Chapter XV
THE CLUB HOUSE The coverlet was thrown back from Evan's head, and breathing deep with relief, he saw bending over him a grinning, fat negress, not evil-looking, but merely simple in expression. She exclaimed like a child: "Laws! it's a pretty man!" "Where am I?" asked Evan. "Deed, I do' know, chile!" "I'll pay you well if you'll help me out of here."
