Chapter 6
-Than what shall we do?- asked Veronica
-Hurry up! Get dressed! I will watch.- with that Marguerete went out, to greet the others.
She heard Ned calling them, why they laid the man on the couch. Than Challenger told Roxton, some kind of bottle to fetch him from his laboratory.
-How is the boy?- asked Malone
-Fine. Sleeping.
-Veronica?
-With him.
-I'm going to see her.
-No! Well, don't make a noise now! - Than Marguerete guided him for the kitchen- Please make a tea!
In this minute arrived Veronica. She sighed a bit. "It was hot" she thought.
Roxton entered too. Challenger placed the bottle under the man's nose, and he stirred, than opened his eyes. He quickly sat up.
-Where am I? Where is Charlie?
Veronica managed to hide a smile. She thought that Charlotte asked that too at first.
-Easy, my boy. He's in good hands. Just like you. - answered the professor. He introduces the full group, than told him their story about the lost world.
At the beginning, he looked questioningly, that started to drink slowly the tea that Melone handed him. Everybody looked him. Marguerete had a strange feeling. He was familiar to her. "To tell the truth, our schoolgirl has an incredible taste" she thought, as she travelled her eyes up and down, to examine the man. He was maybe as tall as Roxton. From his glorying black hair a curly tress fell to his forehead. Without a shirt, she could see his well tanned body that won her "attention". His eyes were dark blue and deep as the sea. His face unshaved, but handsome. She didn't noticed, that her eyes followed her thought and that a certain hunter noticed that. He was jealous. He never had been before for any women, he knows. In spite of none of us told it loud, he felt that this women belonged to him and just the thought of seducing her another man drove him crazy. But he could not be angry with the foreigner, only himself.
-So you are the members of the famous Challenger expedition. And this is the LOST WORLD- stated the man.
-Have you heard about us? - asked the reporter.
-Have I heard?- smiled- Once I spend a memorable time with one of you, but as I can see, it wasn't so memorable.- he stared in his teacup.
In one time everybody turned to Marguerete. Roxton's brain started to boil up. She ignored their stares.
-And who are you, if I'm allowed to ask?
The man looked up.
- Doesn't the name Lord Goeffrey Redgrave say something to you, Lord Roxton?
Who the hell can he be :))))
I'm sorry, but you must wait for the answer...
