Allan, Jesse and Umslopogaas go through all sorts of avoidable nonsense while journeying to the Lost City of Gold, but they make it there none the worse for wear, of course, although everyone in the audience was hoping against hope that they'd meet with an appropriately timed tragedy.
The moron brother appears out of nowhere and greets Allan - not with tears of joy, not with a big hug, not with a sigh of relief, not with an inkling of surprise, and not with a slew of thank you's or an emotional show of gratitude, but with a casual hello and a handshake.
Allan should have gotten pissed off and left at this point, but like his brother, he is a moron, so he decides to stick around.

 Violet Books: Allan & the Ice-Gods
It had been preceded by the posthumous The Treasure of the Lake (1926) — also an Allan Quatermain story — and it was followed by a final pair of posthumous titles, Mary of Marion Isle (1929) and Belshazzar (1930), both unrelated to the Quatermain series.
Once past the opening couple of chapters, with their rather heavy- handed humour and elements of authorial self-parody (the ageing Allan Quatermain in terrified flight from his own particular cut- price version of She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, Lady Luna Ragnall), the reader is gripped by the prehistoric characters, the descriptions of their world, and the set-piece action scenes.
